Show Cedar Council Makes Zoning ' Change for Livestock Pavilion The City Council In meeting Thursday, July 18, approved ap-proved re-zoning a section of land In the northeast part of the city for the development of a livestock show and exhibit ex-hibit area. The re-zoning was approved at the request of the Southern Utah Livestock Show association in order that a livestock pavilion could be erected east of the cemetery cem-etery and immediately south of the Bureau of Land Management Man-agement yard1.;. The livestock association had requested that sufficient suffi-cient land be re-zoned and set aside for future development in connection with an expanded ml HvAtrwlr ihmv InHuatrlal inH agricultural exhibit and recreation recrea-tion program. However, the city rezoned only that portion of the land needed for the livestock pa. vllion, and an extensive parking area. Mayor Arnold Anderson re-ported, re-ported, however, that the city would make a detailed study of the area and assured the show officials that proper zoning would be provided when there Is assurance that additional facilities facili-ties are to be erected. .The association had not Intended In-tended to proceed with the development devel-opment of additional facilities, which include an exhibit area, picnic grounds, carnival grounds and a bowl to use for such things as football and rodeos, but want, ed the area zoned so that any organization that wanted to pro-vide pro-vide these facilities could do so at any time in the future. The re-zoning ordinance, which Is published on another page of this Issue of the Iron County Record, provides that the area could be used 12 days each year for livestock show purposes, and could be used for recreation all year. It also provides, of course, for proper location of the pavilion, proper land use, and that the building must conform with all building and fire codes. At the same meeting the council coun-cil adopted two other ordinances which are published this week. One of them deals with the control con-trol of dogs within the city limits. lim-its. The ordinance provides that "It shall be unlawful for the owner own-er of any dog to permit said dog to run at large in the city at any time." This ordinance .becomes effective on Aug. 14. The present ordinance, which has not been enforced only on direct complaint com-plaint 'from citizens, provides that dogs must not be allowed to run at large during the night time. , The other ordinance prohibits parking of trucks, buses or vehicles ve-hicles with trailers on Main Street and Center Street In the business district. This ordinance, which also becomes effective on Aug. 14,' provides that "no truck, bus or vehicle with trailer shall be parked at any place on Main I Street between 400 South and 200 'North Streets and on Center Street between 100 East and 100 West streets, which vehicle Is over 20 feet !n length." ( (i Other business Included the acceptance ac-ceptance of the bid of Dick Rice for the purchase of a quantity of used steel pipe that was salvaged sal-vaged from the Right Hand Can. yon culinary water line. Rice's bid was .30 cents per foot for 5H inch pipe and 15 cents per foot for 4-inch pipe. The council also spent some time in considering a proposed sewer system for the area of the city north of Coal Creek. The council had previously been considering con-sidering installation of a sewer line that would run diagonally from the vicinity of Ray's Cafe to th sewer line at 800 West and 400 North Street, at which point a lift would be used to connect with the trunk line. However, It was found that the cost of such a line with the lift, which would serve only a portion of the area, would cost almost as much as a direct trunk line to the disposal nlant, which would serve the entire en-tire area. Because of this the city abandoned the plans for the diagonal di-agonal line and will begin detailed de-tailed planning for the installa-tlon installa-tlon of a direct line." Engineer's estimate for the direct line Is approximately ap-proximately $18,000, only about $1000 more than the other line. A report on the city budget was presented at the meeting, Indicating In-dicating that the overall finan-cial finan-cial status of the city Is excellent, excel-lent, hut that some changes should be made In department balances, through transfer of funds, to operate efficiently during dur-ing the remainder of the year. The council authorized the Installation In-stallation of a larger water pump at the municipal swimming pool In order to provide more efficient effi-cient operation of the circulation circula-tion system. The council also agreed to make Improvements In the road north of the city from 800 West to the airport road, as means of eliminating heavy traffic from some of the streets In the northwest section of the city. |
