Commission approves rezoning despite protest By John Eldard Chronicle Reporter Approval was given Tuesday to rezone land for a trailer park within BOO feet of a proposed runway on the Ogden Airport. In a public hearing before the Roy Planning Commission, Allan Nye was rezone land granted approval to at 1900 W. 4000 S. from MP-- to RMH-- 1 to extend his Monte Vista trailer park. Wayne Hansen cast the only negative 1 vote. Ogden city Assistant City Attorney Tim Blackburn and Airport manager Gary Peterson told the commission, the city (Ogden) is definetely against the property being rezoned." Blackburn said the reason is three fold." He said that the city of Ogden presently receives many complaints about noise from the airport and future residents would only add their complaints. The television and radio interference would increase, and he added it is good to have a manufacturing zone between an aiport and the residents to act as a buffer zone for noise and possible take off or landing abortions. Blackburn said the present runwav is only 1,800 feet from the proposed park. Peterson added the airport master plan shows a proposed runway 800 feet from the park. Were just trying to point out that we think it is a potential danger. He said, It's just a matter of time" before complaints would mount and the flimsy trailers would not hold up to a plane wreck as well as a manufacturing building. Could you Peterson imagine the catastrophe? asked. It w ill just stand vacant if we can't go along with our plans," Senior part Vol. 25 No. 9 (USPS ner Ralph Nye told the commission. "W e ve never had any other attempts to buy the property." Nye said the only two offers he has received to buy the land were from the Commercial stores. The Security Bank and bank's computer center is on a one acre parcel of land. On the Southeast corner. When the original section of Monte Vista mobile home park was approved no one from Ogden City protested the action. Blackburn said for some reason Ogden city did not get on the agenda the first time "if wed have had an opportunity we'd have 1 at the council meeting Wednesday. The garbage collection service cost in Riverdale has gone from $1.25 a month per family to $1.79 per family. Incinerator fees charged to the city by the county are not scheduled to be increased until 1980 so the counc il said it plans to discuss that increase in planning the new budget. Nye told the commission the zoning required three hearings and that Ogden city had "three opportunities to present their case if they had cared at that time." Nye said some of the family's original farm land was purchased for die airport and this reduced the size of his property to be uneconomical to farm. He voiced his concern about being prohibited from developing what is left of it.

And the one principally responsible for initiating the fair was excited about all of the students displays. Douglas Stephens, who has helped to fund the event for the past two years, told businessmen and civic leaders Wednesday afternoon that he was glad the school district had the foresight to make it work as it helped parents to begin to communicate with their children about money and the real world. I think that some of the students have given their parents a real lesson. Stephens said. This is a great program, and with alot of them involved in little league for 10 years, or rodeo for 10 years, I dont think 10 years of participating in an economics fair will hurt anyone either. I think that from something like this we can get knowledgeable businessmen and senators someday that will know how to deal with the problems. I think that if we are going to get mixed up in trade with the Chinese then they had better know how to deal with them. Weber School District Superintendent G. Leland Burningham said that a lot of people have helped to put together this Economics Fair, and then recognized the many area civic groups that donated prizes for the students. Approximately $15,000 was given in either plaques, trophies, ribbons, savings bonds or trips. We recognize that this type of thing could not happen without you which helps to promote the understanding of Bureconomics in our children. ningham said. Then, later Wednesday evening, students with their parents gathered in the Laker cafeteria for dinner and heard the fair founder Stephens indicate that he was concerned about what the students were being taught in the schools. I encourage you to decide what you want out of life and then pursue that goal. I dont want you to look back and say you didnt have a chance to learn these things, he said. School Board President Max Malan said that he hoped that this type of program would eventually spread to other parts of the nation and called the fair participants pioneers. I hope stickers made up w ith (lie police number on it and distribute the throughout the community. The number that the phone com pany left out of the book is already disgruntled with the problem.

"1 wonder where die objection was when Herefordshire was developed," Nye said and asked if there had been one. Blackburn acknowledged," not that I know of."
