April 27, 1 LAKESIDE 996 LaKesiae htsview Property protection act . . .could help landowners The Associated Press LOGAN - Several Cache County property owners who have stopped farming because their land .7 7 is federally protected wetland could receive reimbursement under a proposal before Congress. Senate Bill 05, the Omnibus - 7 Property Protection Act, would require the federal government to w property owners for any flosses ' in property value when land is declared a protected wetland, endangered species habitat or other- wise protected from development by federal regulation. But its fate remains unclear, es-pecially since opponents include President Clinton and Secretary of Interior Bruce Babbitt. m The bill could come up for a vote soon. Both the Utah Association of Realtors and the Utah Farm Bureau are endorsing the legislation, which was introduced by Majority Leader Bob Dole and by both Utah senators, among others. It has passed the Judiciary Committee and is awaiting action in the full Senate. Similar legislation passed the 1 House last week as part of House Resolution 9, with all three Utah Representatives voting in favor of it. 277-14- Clinton has threatened to veto the bill on the advice of Babbitt, who has argued it could bankrupt affected federal agencies. Home occupation permit fees 7 may increase in South Weber By TOM BUSSELBERG V, i, Standard-Examine- . f lt i . . ' , - ; ' -- ( it j - r i . ' . -- - Based on language written into a revised city ordinance, it could cost more to obtain a conditional use permit for such things as a home business. It also might take a bit longer to obtain such a variance. A public hearing must now be conducted by the planning commis- sion before any home occupation 0311 be approved, and City Recorder Ginger Miller says there are an average of two to three such requests a month. The current fees are $10 if just telephone calls and mail are received at a home address for a home occupation business, or $25 otherwise. - t correspondent SOUTH WEBER .

In addition, 15 days notice are usually required and that could hold up some applications longer than some might like. It (such a process) will have people mighty upset, especially if it takes months, especially if its just for a phone in their home, said Councilwoman Pam Jones, who also sits on the planning commission. She added that some issues need to come before the (city) council. With a home occupation it would probably cost $50 to $60 just to go to the planning commission and then more for a license, Miller estimated. The cost charged needs to equal the cost incurred by the city, said Councilman Jeff Monroe. Miller said she will bring a written fee schedule proposal to the council for their review after determining publication costs. look elsewhere for a tax base, but it shouldnt come at the expense of the citizenry.

Fritz and others were concerned with the possibility of the homeowners organization going bankrupt, leaving the city stuck pro-- , viding services in the development. The biggest concern was that the small 1,000- - to units would bring people into the city who had no intention of stay- I would not like to see this thing go in, said Mike Peffer. With this size of land that they would own there is no opportunity for people to grow. If you had a young family, there is no way you could live there for more than a couple of years." Jenalee Bowers called the pro-r- ,l posal a "glorified trailer park.

Developers said their market research predicts the homes would be bought by primarily "empty nest e ers" and buyers. Cousins said that although the development is not intended specifically for the elderly he predicts most of the resi- dents would be age 50 or older. After the meeting, opposition orfirst-tim- ganizer Jayna Rice said she plaints. No one cares until this comes along. Its a little bit late in the process, he said. Burton said there is no reason residents concerns cant be dealt n with as part of the process, in ensuring the development is not considered a nuisance. site-pla- City Recorder Ginger Miller said Stephens has indicated to city officials he is willing to work with neighbors in providing a barrier between them and his business. We are just doing what the city has planned, Gibson said. see how older people would be attracted to the area. What are they doing to attract them? If I were retired I wouldn't want to live there. There is no bus route and no nearby grocery stores, she said. Fritz asked the council to not only strike down the subdivision, but to rezone the land to require residential lots. Right now the developers land on 1800 North is part of the citys performance zone. The zone that runs along 1800 North and 2000 West is the closest thing Ginton has to a commercial zone. Community Development Director Lynn Vinzant said the zone allows both residential and commercial uses with buffers to reduce the impact of one use on another. Part of that buffering involves trees, shrubs and fences. Mayor A. DeMar Mitchell said the landowners are the only ones who can ask for it to be rezoned. The proposed development has been in the development stages for a few years now. Last March the planning commission and council looked over an early version of the idea and gave it conceptual approvot Other residents were concerned ing. b;'- - Grubb said his group tried to make the planning commission look hard at approving the rezone, and will have to make the council look even harder.

Burton said when the city held public hearings years ago to set up the master plan there were no com- doesnt al. The proposal brought to the council was actually for an amendment to the preliminary plat plan approved by the planning commission earlier this month. The amendment reduced the 1 96 units originally proposed to 124. Developers warned the residents it could be even worse. They warned that apartment buildings might be just as viable a use for the property if the concept of a planned residential development is refused.

With his ability to create new and exciting learning activities, Seiter is able to educate students and help them to meet future challenges. Because of his outstanding teaching, Seiter has been nominated as one of 60 teachers nationwide to take part in The Disney Channel and McDonalds Salute to the American Teacher. A series of profiles featuring these 60 educators is part of The Walt Disney Company and five-minu- te tribute to McDonalds year-lon- g American Teachers. He gets us all involved in a discussion that is more of a conversation, she said. The social studies department gets a full range of students so the goal is to be creative, yet stay within a plan, which is to give them content, but also give them a way to apply that content to their lives. - The students are involved in many activities during their class time. One activity was a sweatshop simulation in which there were six stations and students could only spend three minutes doing the task at each station. Tasks included stringing macaroni, cutting W's with only three pairs of scissors for seven workers, unwrapping smarties and then rewrapping them according to color. Each nominee had to fill out an application which included a series of questions and a Tuesday a Disney Channel crew was at Northridge to tape a day in the life of Seiter.

Students also simulated what it would be like to be on a slave ship. It beats the heck out of reading chapters and answering questions, Seiter said. Tuesday some of Seiters classes were simulating a Vietnam protest. Since it was their assignment for the day and not just for the film crew, they were being graded as they were being filmed. Right now students are making children's books geared toward The assignment is to take people or an event in history and make a book, then read it to the e children in the schools center. Even though class time is filled with activities, students still have plenty of memorization, films and worksheets and homework. This type of teaching takes a lot more work on the teachers part, but with nine teachers in the department to help put it together, Seiter said its worth the effort. This award is a reflection on the whole department, even though theyll say Im the leader of the pack, said Seiter. The departments goal is to promote a higher level of thinking that will coincide with job market skills such as: analysis, creative problem day-car- solving, writing and oral communi- cation. make jump 7- Seiter said a report put out7by the Department of Labor says that these are the skills that youth need7 and the teachers are trying to get the students to that point. 77 In order to have an informed citizenship in a democracy, they have to know their history, not just memorize it, but know it, and that Is what will give them a sense of com-- 7 munity, Seiter said. Some other activities help give the kids a sense of community. About once a month after school, students meet in Seiters room and make peanut butter and jelly sandC wiches and cookies and then distrib ute them to the homeless on the streets. 'I Its a great experience for tlje teens, he said. Seiters claim is the same as the Jefferson Civitas that people have to give back to the community. He also said if the kis study the content of history they should be able to see people have been doing this all along. After the activity, Seiter asked now and how these things apply to their own work. Lindquist Memorial Chapel Jennifer Bodine, a student in Seiters world civilization class, said her class did a lot of hands-o- n activities. She had made an African mask and a mummy, and she knew how Egyptians were mummified. 1074 N.
