Standard Examiner Davis Bureau LAYTON - Sunset Drive neighbors reaffirmed support for their neighbors whose hillside houses are in danger of further damage from a landslide.

City Manager Alex Jensen agreed that the studies needed to move forward but explained that contractors were having trouble getting drilling equipment to the site.

He also told the council that some want further explanation and discussion on claims that the homes were built on inadequately compacted fill or that warnings against building on the hill were somehow covered up. Jensen admitted that some of the paperwork regarding soil studies on the subdivision were missing but said that sometimes happened with older subdivisions and didnt think it was such an unusual occurrence. Jensen said city officials discussed the situation daily with Terracon and state geologists. He also said crack monitors placed on the afiected homes have not shown any movement, despite a spell of heavy lains. We hope its a good sign," Jensen said. Recognized , . . The Utah Public Employees Association recognized Alene Stringham from the Layton Guardian ad Litem program for her exceptional work ethic and job city plan delayed again g Layton still pondering business park zoning along state highway By AMY PRAY Davis Bureau Standard-Examine- r - LAYTON Planner Peter Matson affectionately calls it the never-endingeneral plan amendment process. The Layton City Council once again delayed voting on whether to alter tire citys master plan north of State Road 193 to add a business research park zone. The issue on how to proceed with development of 400 acres located between Hill Air Force Base and the Davis County Landfill has been postponed numerous times since last year. First, the city wanted to continue negotiations with landowners. Then, they tried to facilitate talks between landowners and developers. Last month, they delayed a decision because they needed Davis Countys concurrence with the plan. The county gave its OK on Monday. On Thursday, the council was set to proceed - except two members were missing. Councilman Brent Allen and Council-woma- n Debra Lcdkins were absent, and Major Jerry Stevenson thought the issue was too important to vote without them. Also, landowner Haven Bar-loand the Barlow family's consultant were out of town. g w So, the remaining councilmen agreed to put it on the next meeting agenda June 4. However, the council still took public comment. They answered residents concerns about keeping open, green space in the area. Stevenson explained that a park would be required as part of a planned residential unit development on the study area's eastern side. He also said the business research park would be of high-qualit- y. Verus Thomley, whose family owns property in the plan area adjacent to SR 193, expressed her continued displeasure with the plan. The city had worked out its differences with the Barlows and some other landowners by agreeing to designate a smaller portion of the land to a business research park on the master plan. About 110 acres of the land will go to a BRP zone on the plan, while another 110 acres would be designated as an agriculture holding zone. If the BRP zone becomes successful, the holding zone could change to BRP, too, Matson said. However, Thornley had disagreed with the city changing the master plan and telling her she couldnt develop a residential subdivision the way she'd intended. I ain opposed to this. I have been from the beginning, but Ive been ignored, she said bluntly. INJURED: Tiffany Jones, 9, examines her butterfly whose bent wing kept it from flying to freedom last week.
