Show trm i Davis County Clipper f t NewsBeat Mayor wary of impact from air traffic routes Centerville dodges two key decisions Continued from p. A1 Council CENTERVILLE members seemed to have difficul-t- v making decisions Tuesday. Fred Hale petitioned the city for the second time to change the zoning on the parcel next to his Colonial Building Supply property for multiple residential use It is currently zoned for Health and Human Services Facilities (HHSF ), such as senior housing Uist year he made the same request and was told he would have to do the steps to change the master plan He did that Then city officials decided they would not consider changing the master plan for one parcel, but would have to consider the entire northwest quadiant of the city That was accomplished within the past aircraft to the east side of the valley in a path from approximately Sandy to Bountiful. Johnson is concerned about the altitude the planes would be coming in at. and so far the FAA hasn't released the information, because the EIS isn't complete. The mayor believes that if the planes remain at very high altitudes over the valley, their noise will be reduced, solving the biggest complaint. FAA officials have promised noise wold be minimal But if the planes come in too low, Johnson said, people will complain. Still, even the noise issue is relative. Johnson said he found little Davis support among he when County mayors concern over the expressed plan. When you have people who live with jets from Hill Air Force Base 24 hours a day, they tend to say, Jet, what's the problem9 Still, the mayor said, if the noise interrupted the serenity of the the last quiet spot mountains we have, he would be opposed 1 Thursday, May 8, 2003 to it. Wasatch Front Regional Council aviation specialist Jim Boes agrees that the noise issue is subjective. Boes said he understands the jets should create no more noise than a truck going by. but what is minimal to one person, to another is an annoyance. He said in presentations by the FAA, the flight path for incoming planes would be the some highest over Bountiful 9,(XXM0,(X)0feet Boes said no decision has been made yet on specific routes Generally, he said, the agency picks the least damaging alternative. All alternatives are still being considered, including a route w'hich would send the planes farther south, and a nochange option The FAA is accepting public comment on the design change through May 16 Comments may be directed to the Northern Utah Airspace Initiative, P O Box 22.S67, AMF, 841 12 Salt Lake City, Information on the plan can be found at BY RENEE TURNER few weeks. demuricd Deamei Clipper Sniff Writer The master plan has been changed and indicates a higher intensity use, such as multi family units is appropnate for that location, according to Anc Jensen. and Economic Community Development Director Yet, when it came tune to vote on Hale's rezone request, only David Gill and Brian Gold voted m favor of it.
