FARMINGTON An appeals investigation into the Davis County Planning Commissions granting of a special use permit for a county resource recovery plant found there was no evidence to show the commission abused its power. The Davis County Attorneys Office prepared the finding of fact document, approved by county commissioners Monday. Residents near the burn plant site east of Hill Air Force Base claimed the planning commission didn't consider adverse economic effects on neighboring property in issuing the permit. Ted Wright, one of the residents who made the claim, was present when the document was approved.

Lay-to- project. Whether or not Layton can support a large number of apartments concerns both developers and city officials. Government subsidized apartment housing in Layton, such as the Skyline View and Stonehedge apartments, have a high occupanto cy rate with waiting lists in some cases. Rental fees are based on income and can range from a monthly low rate of $11 in one case to over $400 per month, with utilities paid. According to one apartment manager, average rent is just under $100 per month. She said many of her renters are young mothers with welfare assistance. One of Layton's newest rental units, Layton Meadows, is not moval and road upkeep within growth in the city will now be the City Councils job. government subsidized and 90 of the development.

Originally this was a connection fee charged to builders and developers when a new residential area was created. It became an impact fee to generate funds for new sewer lines and repairs. Although this is a major increase in the fee, Mayor Norm Sant feels it is the responsibility of the developer to pay it, rather than all the residents of a city, regardless of the area they live in. When a new requirement is imposed due to development, it should be the people in that area that pay for it, he said. However, when improvements are made for the benefit of all residents, they all should pay an equal share. city-own- ILalsesSde PUBLISHED WEEKLY AND DISTRIBUTED FREE BY CARRIER ESeview EVERY WEDNESDAY non-prof- non-prof- it Davis , Weber May Agree On Contract for Geologist Davis County and Weber vis County Commission ChairCounty may enter into an agree- man Glen Saunders.
