During the summer of 2010, Green Valley Academy, by and through its agent Jared Balmer, submitted an application for Design Review to the Weber County Commission for the proposed facility. The application for Design Review sought approval of the proposed Green Valley Academy Private Education Institution under Weber County’s Uniform Land Use Ordinance 36. On or about January 25, 2011, the Commission considered the application and the staff report prepared by the planning staff. The application was granted upon the recommendations of the staff report. The County, the Ogden Valley Planning Commission, and the Board of Adjustment made the final approval, granting Green Valley Academy Petitioner, Jared Balmer, permission to proceed with development of the facility, which has been planned to be built off of Highway 39 on the way to Monte Cristo at approximately 9091 E. 100 S. in unincorporated Weber County, east of Huntsville Town. by substantial evidence and is arbitrary and capricious as a matter of law.” The injunction holds that the county and various boards should have taken into account the other primary uses of the proposed facility, namely, that of a commercial “residential” use where up to 36 students and multiple staff members will live onsite. This use is contrary to Weber County’s AV-3 zoning in the area. The petition reads, “Respondent Board acted illegally in ruling to uphold the decision of the Respondent Commission to grant final design review to the Green Valley Academy interpreting the application by Green Valley Academy as one for a “school” which is allowable in the AV-3 Zone instead of a non-conforming boarding school, hotel, dormitory, residential treatment center, therapeutic school, or other commercial boarding facility not allowed in an AV-3 Zone under the Uniform Land Use Ordinance of Weber County.” They add, “Just because part of the use is a ‘school’ the Board and the Commission cannot ignore the more fundamental use that is not allowed.” The petition continues, “Respondent Board acted illegally and in contravention of its own ordinances when it failed to consider the status and nature of the dormitory facility identified in the Green Valley Academy Design Review application. The proposed permanent commercial residence of 36 or more persons is not allowable under the AV-3 Zone, is not consistent with the AV-3 Zone purposes and intent, and the AV-3 Zone has no allowable use that would permit such a high density The Ogden Valley News is looking for Ogden Valley and Ogden Canyon historical biographies, stories, and photos to use in its publication.

Snowcrest Baseball Team 2010-11 Eighteen members of the Snowcrest baseball team—the best teammates of 2011—practiced, ran, batted, scrimmaged, and, most of all, had lots of fun this year. Even though Mother Nature did not cooperate, ensuring snow was on the baseball field until March, and rain all of April and May, the coaches state they’re not using that as an excuse for the team’s 0 and 8 record. “We still held our heads high and are proud to be Skyhawks! “With the help of Coach Howell and Coach Wolthuis, the players were able to learn, grow, and, have a lot of fun; good memories. With the season and school year over, I would like to thank, on behalf of the team, the parents, faculty, and student body for supporting us!” Snowcrest Baseball Team 2010-11 ARE YOU A “NEWCOMER” TO OGDEN VALLEY?
