BEATTIE: Davis County city officials are giving lukewarm endorsement to a Senate committees favorable recommendation to study a massive transfer of thousands of mi- les of state roads to city and county agencies. Senate President Lane Beat-tie, Bountiful, of the proposal, said the , road swap concept has been discussed for more than 15 years as a way to more efficiently manage roads and highways crisscrossing He is proposal to transfer road care the state. Senate Bill 176 puts a process in motion to either move forward with the transfer or find it unfeasible, he said. The bill sets a July T, 1999, date to transfer some 6,000 miles of roads now under state ju two-thir- and fore the Transportation Public Safety Standing Committee this week. Under the way this is structured, the roads are coming, said Steven Allred, an attorney for Salt Lake City. My opposition is to the process. The bill proposes the Legislatures Transportation Interim Committee study the transfer and report jo the 1999 session. The swap would then take effect of lawmakers and regulates sales said Bountiful Mayor John Cushing, president of the Utah League of Cities and Towns. If it can all be substantiated in the long run, then we will be all right. But Cushing and others question whether cities and counties will be given the resources, along with the roads, to maintain and upgrade added miles. There is an enormous underfunded element to this, Allred said. Allred agreed with the premise of the transfer. But he repeated his concerns that enough time be taken to ensure local governments are given the funding to maintain more roads. if approved by of the Senate and House. But Beattie said the deadlines are in the bill to drive the process. Following the hearing Wednesday, Beattie said the 1999 Legislature could change the date a transfer would take effect. Still, local government officials were concerned their suggestions never made it into SB 176. Those suggestions included formation of a task force risdiction to cities and counties. But the deadline and listing of federal highways and freeways and some state routes that would remain under state control prompted concerns by county and city officials testifying be- local govern- ment representatives to study a specific list of issues for two years. Everything we have, is based on trust of Senate leadership, By AMY PRAY Standard Examiner Davis Bureau LAYTON - The city council has approved a new ordinance sales - sales regulating off-sit-e of cars and merchandise in parking lots of other businesses. The ordinance was a collaboration of car dealers, chambers of commerce members and city staff. A task force was formed to study the issue last year, after the city received several complaints of businesses breaking previous rules. Among new requirements, businesses or property owners hosting sales must get a conditional use permit. No more than 50 percent of parking space may be used. Businesses holding an off-sit-e sale must specify the type of sale to the state tax commission. Community Development Director Scott Carter said the city could be entitled to more tax revenue from the unique sales. The ordinance still does not e sales in high school allow parking lots. Councilman Stuart Adams said the issue should be revisited after a trial period. If problems sales continue, he with off-sit-e suggested requiring businesses pay a bond that could be returned after the sale if rules are followed correctly. Planners delay master plan hearing for Layton By AMY PRAY r Standard-Examine- . r Davis Bureau LAYTON - Taking the lead from the city council, planning commissioners postponed a public heanng on an amendment to the citys master plan for land north of State Road 193. The commission is now scheduled to address the issue March 10 and pass on its recommendation to the council March 19. Its the third time hearings have been postponed, as the city continues to negotiate with landowners in an attempt to sell them on the idea of a businessre-searc- h k I park, said Community Develop I pand the business. taurants on the low end, executive offices on the higher end. The goal, he said, is to entice a biomedical or high-tec- h computer company to move in. Carter listed Intel and Samsung as companies that have expressed interest in the site around Sun Hills Golf Course. Part of the land already annexed and zoned in the area is considered light manufacturing, Carter said. However, he dismissed what he called the big rumors that the city wanted Utility Trailer Manufacturing Co. on the site. Carter said the city was interested in finding Utility Trailer a new home, after Clearfield denied a rezone request to ex ment Director Scott Carter. We want to make sure its right for everyone, Carter said. While they push back public talks, commissioners continue to field questions privately from citizens. Commissioner Bill Luce said several people have asked him whether the land will ever become a research park. Their concern is that its not going to be real research but just more light manufacturing. The intent is that they want higher end business, Luce told city staff at Tuesdays meeting. Carter said that the change in the master plan calling for rezone to a park would allow for res ch . The land along State Road 193, though, is not necessarily being considered for Utility Trailer, Carter said. He suggested that staff members who said otherwise had not been briefed on the latest plans. Economic development experts have advised the city to change its master plan, developing a business park zone to create higher paying jobs and increase the tax off-sit- base. Currently, most of the area is zoned or light manufacturing, or is in unincorporated Davis County. single family residential j WSU parking wars drag on they walk toward their cars. They And theres not much relief in sight for the near drive randomly through a lot, jumping at the first chance to claim a stall in anothers territo- future, director says ry. By PETER D. RICHINS Standard-Examine- r staff Among the other pressures of college life, Weber Stale University students wage a daily battle for dominance lots. in the parking Weber State offers three parking options, each one requiring competition from students. A student can purchase a W permit, priced at $32 for a year. This means that students compete against each other for parking stalls. Sale of W permits continues throughout the year, meaning more students compete for these spots. Students employ diverse tactics to get their stall. They stake their territory, waiting by a row of cars for the first spot available. They follow other students as 3 t 1 t 1 . Sophomore , Meredith Wyandth said she waited 45 minutes for a parking spot. For an entire quarter, she was late for her first class. She recommends being at school at 7 a.m. to park for an 8:30 a.m. class. Competition for the A permit, which costs $55, requires students to sleep overnight while waiting in line to buy one. The University Police department only sells a limited number of these permits, making parking easier for fewer students. Freshman Cody Phillips said he often fights for parking in W" lots, then Walks through A lots with plenty of available stalls. Weber State has taken advantage of the Dee Events Center by providing shuttle service from the parking lot to campus. Lee Cassidy, director of public safety, said the shuttle system serves more than 4,000 students daily. While Dee Events Center parking is free, it is not always convenient. Parking at the Dee Events Center means waiting in line for during the 8:30 up to a half-hoa.m. rush to class. After waiting, students get packed into crowded buses. Cassidy said there are plans to ll expand parking, including a lot west of the new gymnasium. This new lot will provide parking for the library and the art building. There are also plans for a new lot west of the Miller Administration building. Future plans for the campus include parking terraces. Regular parking lots cost $600 per stall, but parking terraces cost $10,000 per stall. The expense of a parking terrace will prevent construction in the near future. ur 100-sta- TWO-SPEE- Kaysville considers building bike path path system, Smith told the city council at a recent meeting.
