I City Council members decided ;to table the matter at a public hearing last week after several contractors representing the Davis Home Builders Association Complained the proposed changes I would harm their business. ; County - Centerville's current noise ordinance makes it a class C I misdemeanor for any person to ; disturb the peace and quiet of a I- neighborhood, family, or person by ;loud or unusual noises, by tumultuous or offensive conduct. But the current ordinance does not specify any set hours when loud noises are prohibited. After residents complained about the noise generated, from construction, city officials decided to do something about the problem. During the past few years, city officials Centerville Hill 2793 ASSOC 081393 - 1 ry'UT-84101..- have received an increasing number of complaints regarding construction activity taking place during the early morning and late evening hours, Mayor Michael Kjar said in 9 July 8 letter mailed to 15 area contractors. i ordinance to bar any construction between the hours of 9 p.m. and 7 a.m. But Centerville's solution was a problem to developers, who voiced opposition at a public hearing. Tamra Moore, an assistant executive officer with the DCHBA, said cement contractors and other association members felt that the hours were unreasonable When you pour cement, it has to be cooler or it will not set right and you have to dig it up and start all over," she said. So it needs to be done early in the morning. To schedule it from 7 a.m. on, is too late.. Low interest rates and a rapid growth rate has fueled a construction boom in Davis County, as well as other areas along the Wasatch Front. New housing starts are cropping up in record or near record levels in many local areas, increasing the noise from construction and therefore the potential for conflict. The World comes to Bountiful But Moore believes people moving into a home next to a vacant lot should be prepared for the temporary inconvenience of home construction on that lot.

Paschal, 33, of West Bountiful, also suffered chest injuries and was flown by helicopter from Lakeview to the University of Utah Medical Center. Her condition was upgraded from critical to serious Monday, a hospital spokesperson reported. Tire collision occurred at 6:45 p.m. at about 1950 South. 800 West. Police Chief Paul Howard said Paschal was traveling north in a Chevrolet Celebrity and drifted into the oncoming lane of traffic, colliding ar with a Geo Metro driven by Cosgrove. We're not exactly sure why she (Paschal) drifted over. We haven't been able to talk to her yet, Howard said. Police report Paschal had just recently purchased a drink and was traveling with a dog, which was killed in the crash. "One or both of those may have distracted her, causing her to drift over into the southbound lane, Howard added. Officers are also uncertain if the victims were wearing seat belts. Howard said the chest injuries to both victims were caused by the steering column. The posted speed for 800 West is 35 mph. Investigating officers found no skid marks on the road, which might indicate one or both cars were speeding. But Howard added that even if both cars were traveling the posted speed limit, the impact was sufficient enough to account for the severe nature of the injuries. The accident is still under investigation.
