Show - MM i i 9 I Market Street Hearing Draws A Crowd a The redevelopment area extends from 2700 West to Market Street and from about 3600 South north to 3500 South. It also includes small areas north of 3500 South adjacent to 2700 West. The redevelopment area is, in effect, the third anchor of a master plan which virtually creates a city center in the 2700 West area. The other anchors are Valley Fair Mall and the new city hall, to be built immediately south of by Steve Warren Green Sheet Staff Writer WEST VALLEY. At 6 p.m. Thursday, the West Valley City Council chamber was packed with residents and property owners. Nearly all were drawn to the meeting by one concern - the proposed redevelopment plan for Market Street. It looked as though the plan might be in for some rough sledding. But almost two hours later, after all present wishing to speak had been given a chance to do so, not a single voice was raised in opposition to the plan. In fact, the closest anyone came to opposition was Ryan Richards, representing American Savings. We dont object to the plan, he said, but to our inclusion in it. Richards noted that the American Savings property has been occupied for 30 consecutive years, and we feel we dont contribute to the blight of the area. Nevertheless, many present expressed concerns about being treated fairly by the city. Others were upset at being left up in the air about the future of the project. Candidates To Be Grilled Wednesday W'EST VALLEY. A candidates featuring candidates in West Valleys municipal races will be held at 7 p.m. Wednesday at Westlake junior high, 3450 So. 3450 West. The meeting will be an open forum giving citizens an opportunity to question those running for mayor and city council. Sponsor of the forum is the West Valley Committee, a group of 50 citizens and business people in the West Valley area. It is vital that West Valley voters know and understand the platforms of the various candidates who are campaigning to represent them, said Bryan Shafer, committee chairman.

Architect Richard Chong, who was contracted by the city to prepare a report on the redevelopment, said a key problem is that the area's major building is facing the wrong direction Generally, said Chong, proper ty across from a major development such as Valley Fair Mall should tie highly viable, especially for strip developments. But because the "Gibson's building faces Market Street instead of 2700 West, it fails to benefit from traffic patterns Chong noted many other problems in the target area. These include poor drainage and ponding, vacant buildings and lots, deteriorating curbs and gutters, sidewalk pro blems, improper placement of trash receptacles, weeds, illegal dumping, poor planning, and inadequate lot sizes. He concluded that blight con ditions are present area wide and is necessary to redevelopment reverse the trend. Clyde Marshall of the West Valley-AreChamber of Commerce said, revitalization of that area is absolutely essential to the development of West Valley City. Marshall called the area economically obsolete" and predicted the project will greatly improve the image of the city. Irmgard Taylor was concerned about the future of Spa Fitness Center. "What's going to happen to the spa? We go there all the time She said the owners of the spa. who have 3,000 members using it. "are just up in the air all of the time due to the uncertainty of the building s future. Bud Norquist of Thrift Town warned. I will be one tenant who will be sure that I am treated fairly." The city council tabled the pro posal until Nov. 5 in order to provide individual residents and property-owneranswers to specific questions which were raised at last week's meeting City Manager John Newman called the long discussion "one of the best, most informative public hearings I have attended. In other action related to the future of Market Street, the council approved acquisition of properties just south of the redevelopment area where the new city hall will be located Condemnation proceedings are authorized if negotiations fail The council also voted to delay until Nov. 5 a decisions on the proposed ordinance to license employees ol child care facilities m the cits oun cil members are concerned about language in the ordinance which appears to require employees to be and to otherwise fingerprinted repeat all licensing procedures every year.
