The president of a company wanting to develop a mobile home park sought permission from the City Planning commission to go a bit slower than he originally planned to due to a major medical facility that will soon be located here. Kent Norton, president of Consolidated Capital Corporation, told Planning Commission members that he would like permission to install only 41 mobile homes of a potential project in the area of 3000 So. 6400 West because of severe time constraints that have developed since the commission first approved Southfork Mobile Home Park last year. According to Norton, Sterling Medical has bought 80 percent of Consolidated Capital in order to facilitate construction of a medical equipment factory that will employ 250 people by December. Norton also told commissioners that his partner in Consolidated leave Capital has taken a three-yea- r of absence to go on an LDS mission. Because of these factors, Norton said, my time is going to be devoted almost exclusively to the Sterling Medical project." Yet another factor has cropped up to make things more difficult, according to Norton. Other partners in the mobile home project may not have clear control over the rest of the land that would be used for the mobile home project. Part of the land in question was to be used for a clubhouse and play area for the park. If the commission would allow him 265-ho- to install the first 41 mobile homes and consider it the first phase, Norton told the commission he would later remove as many of the homes as necessary in order to put the( clubhouse and play areas on the land he clearly controlled. By Margaret Peterson, commission chairman, expressed dismay and concern over the request, saying she had approved the overall project last year on the assumption that control over all the land was being exercised by all the partners involved, but now it seemed that may not be the case. Following a lengthy conference with commission staff members and city legal officials out in the hallway, the commission voted to postpone for two weeks further consideration of the request while all the questions were ironed out between Norton and staff members. Also during the discussion, commissioners expressed concern that if they allowed installation of the 41 worst case homes, under the scenario, the city could end up with a mobile home park with no recreation facilities. Weve seen such worst cases before, Peterson commented. Another large project was considered Thursday as the commission held a hearing on a proposed zone and master plan change that would pave the way for construction of 432 condominium units over the next five to six years in the 5600 West and 2700 South area. Im quite enthused about the possibilities of this project, Commissioner Tom Pearce commented during a planning session prior to the regular commission meeting. Applicant Loreen Holmes is asking that 21 acres be changed from to R-to allow conand struction of the two and condominiums that would make up the project. Fellow commissioners expressed the same optimism and interest as Commissioner Pearce, but also expressed concern due to the uniqueness of the project, something new to the West Valley area. A decision is expected on the application in two weeks. In other action, the commission continued indefinitely a conditional use request by stores to replace an existing store at 3600 W. 3500 South with a new store having gasoline pumps. The indefinite delay will allow for a traffic study to be conducted. R-- three-bedroo- PACE . . . Kant Norton seeks slower pace on project.

Moose Landing, a six-lo- t planned unit development at 4700 W. 4100 South, was also given the by commissioners who expressed interest in the uniqueness of the prod ject. Continued for two weeks were preliminary plans for Brookfield subdivision No. 5 so the developer could bring back plans for a wall that will be built around the project. For the same reason, the commission continued consideration of Helm Park subdivision, 4595 So. 3700 West. Also Thursday, the commission denied a request by Valley Utah Bancorporation to make changes in landscape plans for its project at 4065 W. 3500 South. Approved was a request by Tom Kudla to convert a dry cleaning business to a bait and tackle shop at 6000 W. 3500 South. The commission also approved extension of subdivision approval for Hector Park 2, 3, 4, and 5 at 6600 W. 3500 South. The commission also delayed for the second time a presentation by Redevelopment Agency ad- ministrator Larry Catten of preliminary plans and a report on Market Street and neighborhood project area, which is the area where the new city hall and commercial projects will be located. The delay will allow some last minute details to be ironed out before the presentation is made. SALT LAKE. The County Planning Commission has given approval for a group home to be located in the Magna area. The home, to be operated by Villa Delamar, Inc. and located at 8625 W. 2700 South, is designed to help victims of major catastrophic injury get on the last leg of getting back to a first-of-a-ki- community environment and back to work after spending as long as three months in bed. Janice Wise, executive director of Villa Delamar, said that many of the group home residents will be between 20 and 30 years of age. They will be victims of catastrophic injuries which often means the loss of an arm, leg or combination of limbs, but they are still termed ambulatory, meaning they are able to get around on their own without use of wheelchairs. According to Wise, there are four or five such facilities in California, but this will be the first one to operate in Utah. Also Tuesday, commissioners continued for two weeks a decision on a conditional use application by Salt Lake County Parks and Recreation to add parking at a county park at 5135 So. 2755 West. Another conditional use application for an Ice Castle at 4879 So. Redwood Road was also continued for two weeks. The concept and application for the group home received en- from local residents and representatives of the state and an insurance company, who said such an operation would thusiastic support help get accident victims back into society and back to work, keeping them off of the welfare roles. Tom Pearce, member of the West Valley Planning Commission, also appeared before his county counterparts to express support for the group home, having appeared at the meeting as a representative of the homeowner who wants to sell the home to Villa Delamar. Pearce said it would not be feasible to continue making the existing home a single family home, noting that attempts had been made to market the home and property in other capacities.
