The City Council expected to adopt a proposed revelopment plan for an tract south of City Hall here next week following Thursdays surprisingly short public hearing on the is matter. The move, which will culminate a year of required studies and public hearings, will allow the Redevelop- ment Agency to begin actively soliciting business to the project area for the first time. About 25 residents of the project area which is contained in a larger area bordered by Redwood Road, 1900 West, 2500 South and 2900 South - attended Thursdays public hearing on the plan, but most remained surprisingly silent during the hour-lon- g meeting. The group, which -- bombarded Redevelopment Agency officials with questions during their public hearing last month, listened quietly to officials description of the plan and spoke out only when told they do not own enough land in the area to prevent the city moving ahead with redevelopment. Its not fair. Most of the big property owners are in on the deal here, complained Albert Hauser-mawho estimated 95 percent of the people living in the project area are opposed to redevelopment. n ' On Third Ceil!

Board members Towers Decision Expected Today WEST VALLEY. A decision is expected here this morning on a proradio posal to erect three towers just east of the Pleasant Valley subdivision. First Security Bank is requesting the City Planning Commission rezone 20 acres near 3100 So. 6200 7 West from residential (single family on 7,000 square foot lots) to agricultural A-- l to accomodate the towers. The commission will meet in the new council chambers in City Hall, 2470 So. Redwood Road, beginning at 9 a.m. The applicants are proposing to move two of the mammoth antennas - owned by KALL radio - from a site just north of 4500 South near 700 West. The owner of the present site wants the red and white structures moved so he may develop the land. Several residents of the Pleasant Valley subdivision registered opposition to the proposal at a public hearing two weeks ago asserting the structures would lower property values, present a hazard to curious children and impede their view of the mountains. Some residents expressed concerns the antennas would cause radio and television interference in surrounding homes but representatives of the applicant denied that would happen. While the applicants plan was generally panned by local homeowners it sparked the interest of area developers who theorized the 20 acres surrounding the towers could be used to accomodate storm- 274-fo- R-l-- -- water runoff from future Annexation Is To Be Settled Within Month - subdivi- sions.

Saying that the City Council would like to have the matter resolved by the end of the council president Greg month, Brown predicted that petitions will be sent out this week to Bennion property owners involved in a potential annexation by Murray. Wed like to know for sure - up or down, one way or the other - which way the matter is going to go, Brown said. Wed like to settle it conclusively." A draft petition has been drawn up by the city council, Brown says, and if it can pass muster by the city attorney, it should be out by the end of the week. Concerning the outcome of the petitioning, Brown noted that whats the use of pursuing it if the numbers are not there? But if the numbers are there, we need to know as soon as possible. Brown said the proposed annexation of about, 150 acres in Bennion from 5400 South to and from 1300 West to Redwood Road is part of our continuing struggle with the whole issue of annexation do we really want just piecemeal annexation?" he questioned or are we going to go about this as a matter of policy? Murray, Brown said, cannot continue to hover at the brink without some sort of philosophical direction concerning the annexation issue. arterial he said, Personally, roads make more sense to me as boundaries, but everyone on the council has got to make up their own mind on the issue." four-plex- C-- 2 -- because it predates zoning regulation in the area - never received conditional use approval. - 2879 W. 4100 South, Brent B.

In addition, hunters may discharge their weapons no closer than 100 yards from any roadway upon which the general public is permitted to travel.

An increment is the difference in the assessed value of an area before and after construction of project.

A Kennecott proposal to replace three obselete ore concentration facilities in Magna with a state of the art operation near Copperton cleared another hurdle here Tuesday when the County Planning Commission approved the company's zone change requests on 594 acres near the Bingham Canyon mine. Kennecott officials indicated two weeks ago the zone changes were being secured in anticipation the companys board of directors will vote early next year to proceed vith the billion-dolla- r plan to modernize operations. Kennecott Tuesday received one zone change on 560 acres near 9400 So. 8000 West from agricultural (M-l- ) to heavy industrial classification and another on 34 acres at 9010 W. Bingham Highway to from residential duplex heavy industrial. The larger tract would accomodate the new ore concentrating facility while a conveyor system would be constructed on the site. Both zone changes will now be sent to the County Commission for final approval. Under the companys modernization plan, the rock would be crushed directly in the Bingham Canyon mine and transported by conveyor system to the new ore concentrator for separating procedures. (A-2- ore-lade- n Tailings would be taken from the plant to the tailings pond north of pipeline for Magna through a which conditional use approval was given two weeks ago. The system would replace the Magna, Arthur and Bonneville mills to which rock is now transported for the crushing, milling and separating procedure, according to Ken Hochstetler, Kennecott public information officer. Documents filed with the county by Kennecott indicate the new plant should be - . operational by 1988. In granting approval for the zone changes Tuesday, the Planning Commission expressed concern with the proximity of the proposed conveyor system to an existing duplex subdivision across Bingham Highway. The board indicated it will require the company erect some type of buffer between the two developments when the application returns for the conditional use phase. Hochstetler said the decision on whether to go ahead with the modernization plan will be based on studies financial assessing the long-terfeasibility of the move. He said if Kennecott decides not to build the new facility, the company would sooner or later have to shut down its entire Utah operation. Slant Is Criticized SOUTH SALT LAKE. A slide presentation designed to attract new business to the Salt Lake valley was roundly criticized last week by Sandy Mayor Lawrence Smith who complained the display focused too heavily on the downtown area. It was totally dominated by Salt Lake City. I didnt recognize one picture outside of the downtown area, said Smith to Fred Ball, John Delaney and Tom Taylor who presented the show at Thursdays County Council of Governments (COG) meeting. The trio made the presentation on behalf of the Economic Development Alliance, a group of made up of leaders from the countys public and private sector whose stated goal is the enticement of new industry to the Salt Lake Valley. Officials from the countys smaller cities have expressed concern in the past few months, however, that the efforts of the organization have focused too heavily on downtown Salt Lake City. Despite assurances from alliance representatives to the contrary at Thursdays COG meeting, Mayor Smith took to the slide presentation's downtown orientation as a firm indication the countys outlying areas are still being overlooked. We've gotten assurance after assurance that youre looking at the whole area, he told Ball, the executive secretary of the Salt Lake City Chamber of Commerce. But the fact that surrounding communities also have concerns apparently has not gotten through to you. Ball apologized to COG members for the presentations downtown slant and explained it was put together hurriedly to show the mayors the effectiveness of the medium as a means to attract business to the valley. He said the final production that will be shown to prospective businesses will be more representative of the entire county. While most COG members remained mum on the issue, South Salt Lake Mayor James Davis admonished his colleagues not become discouraged from participating in the alliance. This will go on with us or without us, he warned. The only way to assure we get our fair share is to become full and active participants. Inside: ... . .
