21 acres south of 1400 W Ritter Drive The council voted unanimously Wednesday night to schedule a public hearing for 6:45 pm May 6 to discuss rezoning the land from agricultural to residential Developer Blake Hazen of Co in Clearfield said the sale of the land for development by his company depends on the rezoning Hazen submitted a map showing the land would be divided into about 75 residential lots The irregularly shaped parcel is bordered by Ritter Drive or 5100 and 5350 South on the north the canal on the southwest about 5475 South on the south and about 1150 West on the east Bisecting the subdivision would be an extension from the south of 1200 West which now ends at about 5510 South In other action the council directed Police Chief Glenn Gary to arrange the purchase of two new police cars But council n members and Mayor Leon were careful not to commit themselves to the buy which they legally cannot make until the fiscal year begins July Clary said the Ford Mustangs he wants as police cruisers must be ordered now because Ford Motor Co only makes them in April and May of each year He said the cars each costing would be bought $11754 n through Ed Kenley Ford in Under council direction Clary is to make only an oral indication to the dealer that the city wants to buy the Mustangs but that it will not be obligated to buy them after they arrive if the money is not allocated in the upcoming budget In addition council members voted to establish a zoning designation that would lift a ban on building along South Weber Drive A construction moratorium was placed on the area in August 1983 because of fear of landslides City Administrator Item Steel said several homes along the drive at that time reported occurrences such as doors becoming difficult to shut that indicated the earth beneath the homes was moving But there has been no measurable movement recently and a building request from a homeowner prompted the council to lift the moratorium Under the proposed zoning for the area the city would maintain control over construction by requiring a land owner wanting to build to first hire a geologist or soils engineer to make a detailed site study that would have to be approved by the county geologist and the city’s engineer and build- - ing inspector A draft of the zoning ordinance also would require land owners seeking a building permit to sign an agreement relieving the city of responsibility for any damages suffered in a construction-causelandslide A public hearing on the proposed zoning ordinance was scheduled for 6:30 pm May 20 The council transferred the cable television franchise to serve two mobile home parks in the city from Star West Communications Co to Insight Communications Co New Insight is buyStar West ing which also is known as Watchus and serves Lesley’s Mobile Home Park 671 W 4400 South and Riverside Village 4375 Weber River Dnve Council members approved an ordinance that will allow the city to avoid competitive bidding requirements by buying goods and services from a vendor who has a contract to sell to state agencies Assistant City Attorney Douglas Holmes said the state government pays lower prices than municipalities can because it buys in great volume He said Riverdale previously required to conduct its own separate competitive bids now will be able to take advantage of the price break given to the state because of its volume of business Fourth robbery suspect arrested RIVERDALE — Ogden police arrested a fourth suspect Wednesday in the March 30 knifepoint robbery of the Cash Saver convenience

off the sidewalk in front of her house on Adams Avenue ‘Institutional zoning’ designation considered By MARK PETERSON ly commercial That would allow Blair to open a suntan and beauty salon at 864 24th The city’s planning commission had approved a change to partially commercial for the area — a move agreeable to Frandsen and Blair Neither the City Council nor the city staff was enthusiastic about allowing commercial activity in the neighborhood which is across the street from Osco Drug and Safeway stores “I’m a little concerned about that area” said Councilman Scott Sneddon "I think we better be careful on it” staff Trying to balance the immediate requirements of a new business and the needs of an old neighborhood the Ogden City Council has voted to rezone only one lot in the area from residential to commercial The council also voted Thursday night to eventually change that commercial zone to a zone — a designation that does not yet exist in the city code Property owner Don Frandsen and his rent4 er Kevin Blair asked the city to rezone 24th St from heavy residential to partial After a brief debate the council voted unanimously to rezone only the 864 24th St property and gave notice to Frandsen and Blair that the city intends to rezone the properties for uses after that designation is created The new zoning would allow the proposed beauty salon and tanning shop to continue operation but would exclude commercial sales operations The new zone already has received planning commission approval and will be presented to the council to order an ordinance be drawn in its April
