Show THURSDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1976 PLEASANT GROVE REVIEW, PLEASANT GROVE, UTAH THURSDAY DECEMBER 9, 1976 PL Grove Building Permits Listed Building permits generally go down in the winter months according to city building in-spectors, but in Pleasant Grove this past month, there seemed not too much of a letup in building. Single family dwellings totaled most of the amounts contemplated to be built with 12 dwellings being given permission to build. Gary Carson with three and Eldon Stubbs, with 3, both local builders, accounted for half of the twelve. Total amount of the per-mits for the month was $485,254, not a big amount, but with winter coming on, nevertheless, a considerable amount. The rest of the building for the month was for additions, a mobil home unit along Turley Drive, and for a fireplace. Also, a permit was given a local resident to demolish a building. No cost, and no charge were listed for this latter item. We are still awaiting next months report (December) and the total building for this past year. It just might be a record year for building in Pleasant Grove. I s . .. - , ) r" ' "" ? ,y : ; i I ' ' H ' - i 1 f ,' . """V, I v :i I I " - I ....-"- ''' f ; .......

The Boy and Girl Staters were host to the senior cittizens for a special 70 plus day of ac-tivities. A picture presentation of Pleasant Grove's history, narration by Alroy Gillman, was one of the highlights of the day. The history started at the time when Pleasant Grove was the home of the bear, deer, the coyote, and other wild animals. The history covered the growth of Pleasant Grove, including the religious and educational aspect. Many hours have been put into this history. A number of people are to be thanked and complimented - Calvin Walker, Jim Walker, Raymond Walker, Lucille Walker, Delores Bradshaw, Richard Warnick.

Johnson, (SEAL) City Recorder City Council Meets (Continued from Page 1) own their own homes now have the capacity to pay for these improvements better than a person who is buying a home today. He felt that the facilities needed would therefore be better paid for by an increase in property tax rather than penalize the person whishing to build in the city. Another citizen expressed his feeling that all people living in the com-munity will benefit from these facilities and therefore everyone should pay for the facilities. Ken Millard noted that the impact fees will not be enough to pay for all the needed improvements and generally everyone in town will, to a degree, help pay for the improvements, but by imposing an impact fee the persons responsible for creating the need for the construction of the im-provements pay a larger share of the costs. At 6:45 the public meeting was adjourned with Mayor Haynie indicating that the council will review this matter later in the meeting. At 6:45 a public hearing was held to review the proposed zone change which would allow FM radio stations and masts to be placed in the R-l- , and d derwriters . Councilman Bezzant reviewed the need for this work but noted the problem of financing this project. He noted that the work would have to be spread , over a number of years in order to finance the project. Mr. Wimmer discussed the need to drill a new well and felt that the best alternative is to drill a well near the in-dustrial area. He reported on his investigation of funding for an industrial park in-cluding the well through the Economic Development Administration. The council authorized Mr. Wimmer to proceed with a preliminary grant application to be submitted to the E.D.A., and to request an extension of time on the drilling of a new well. Mayor Haynie asked the council's feelings about the proposed impact fee. An ordinance which would place this fee into effect was read. Councilman Mills felt that the idea is good and that all monies received should be placed in a fund to be used for the designated improvements and that the ordinance go into effect sixty days after publication thus providing time for those people will immediate plans for building to obtain their permits thus not creating any hardships because of loan commitments. Councilman Bezzant ex-pressed concern with the percentage basis and suggested a flat fee. All other councilman were in favor of the percentage basis as this would provide for the inflation factor. Councilman Atwood noted that down the road when it can be determined the amount of money this generates and the cost for the improvements that the fee may need to be adjusted. The council then voted to adopt the ordinance providing for the impact fee. Mayor Haynie read an ordinance which would amend the dog license ordinance to provide the due date for purchase of a dog license to be the last day of February and to require that pups be licensed at the time of seaning or at least two months of age. The council voted to adopt this ordinance. Mayor Haynie read an ordinance annexating the Wendell Hansen property located east and north of 1100 North to the city. The council voted to adopt this ordinance thus bringing this property into the corporate limits of Pleasant Grove. Councilman Bezzant voted nay on the ordinance. An ordinance amending Title 7 Chapter 3 of the city code was read. This ordinance would provide for FM radio stations to be located in the R-- and d zones of the city by a special use permit. The council voted to adopt this ordinance. An ordinance amending Title 7 Chapter 10 of the city code was also read. This ordinance would provide for the the process of a special use permit to be established for location of FM radio stations in the R-- and d zones. The council voted to adopt this ordinance. Mayor Haynie discussed the problem with handling of solid waste and the count's proposal to establish a special service district to handle solid waste. Mayor Haynie in-dicated that he felt the cities have no other alternative than to join the district. The problem of what obligations the county has taken upon themselves recently was discussed. A resolution by the city indicating an intent by the city to join the districtt was reviewed by the council members. The council voted to adopt the resolution with the provision that certain conditions be included in the resolution. These conditions were: 1) that the district not be obligated for payment of any expenditures incurred by the county prior to establish-ment of the district or obligations previously committed to by the county, 2) that the county provide top soil over the present landfill site, 3) that the county develop the landfill area, at least the portion owned by Pleasant Grove City, into a moto-cros- s for use by residents of the county, and 4) that each city have an equal vote on the special service district and that the chair-manship of the district be determined by the district members. Mayor Haynie read a copy of a letter received from John Green of the Environmental Protection Agency indicating the terms of the grant offer for the design phase of the regional wastewater facility. It was noted that the grant does not provide funding for the design of the final filters. This is a reversal from the earlier position taken by the E.P.A. on this matter and created concern among the council members. The planning commission minutes of the meeting held December 2, 1976 were read. Councilman Atwood reported that he had talked to the people who had requested the multiple residence subdivision and felt that these people would probably withdraw their request. Councilman Mills reported that the Utah National Guard, particularly the engineer unit from Provo, had indicated a willingness to assist the city in construction of a rifle range at the city owned Wade Springs property. He asked those councilman that would be available on Saturday to tour the planned facilities with him. The council reviewed a request to have the city run the water service from the meter to the main line. Councilman Bezzant reported that he felt that this would necessitate hiring an ad-ditional crew of three men if the city were to change its policy and begin runing the line to property and asphalting the trench. He suggested tha,t this be reviewed closely before any change is made in the present policy. He indicated he felt that some of the contractors complaints could be solved with proper scheduling of meter installations. The council reviewed the license charged for amusement devices specifically football games and similar amusement devices. The general feeling of the council was to maintain the existing fee structure but councilman Mills was asked to review the fees charged. An ordinance amending the zone districts boundaries was read and reviewed. It was noted that the length of the ordinance was created because it provides for the change on boundaries at 200 South and 700 East but also for the area in the south east section of town which the council ap-proved changing from an R-- l zone to a d zone. Both changes had been in-corporated into one ordinance revision. Mr. Dick Sumsion of J.M. Sumsion and Sons met with the council to review several matters dealing with replacement of gravel used on the 500 North Street project. He asked that while his crusher is in the city pit that he be allowed to crush ad-ditional gravel based on a similar arrangment which had been worked out between his company and the city several years ago. Councilman Mills indicated that he felt it would be best to place the crushing of the gravel out on bid to avoid any criticism from other contractors. The full council expressed appreciation to Mr. Sumsion for the fine way his company had performed the work and dealt with the citizens on the two special improvement districts recently completed. Councilman Bezzant reported that the city celebration for observation of the city bicentennial project will be held Thursday, December 30th. He will get this advertised in the paper. Councilman Bezzant presented the final drawings of the proposed downtown improvement He stated that the plan will be published in next weeks paper and that action is being taken to prepare the creation of this special improvement district. zones as a conditional use. Mr. Morris Jones who wishes to establish a FM radio station in the area was present to explain his operation and all that would be involved. There was no one present to oppose the proposed zone change. At 6:55 the council held a public hearing to review the request of property owners residing on 200 South street east of 700 East street to be rezoned from the R-- l zone to a zone. This would result in extending the present zone 200 feet south which wwould put the line in the center of 200 South Street. There was no one at the meeting to oppose this zone change. Shortly after 7:00 p.m. the regular city council meeting began. Mrs. Dixie Beck, chairman of the Shade Tree Commission was present at the meeting to request that when trees on the city right of way are to be trimmed that her committee be contacted. She cited an instance where this had not been done and how a great amount of work will be needed to correct the problem which has been created. The council agreed to this request. Mr. Lee Wimmer, City cinsulting engineer, was present at the meeting to discuss several matters of business. He indicated that the assessment rolls for the two special improvement districts are nearly complete and that the Board of Equalization be appointed. The council voted to appoint Grant Atwood, Mark Bezzant and Frank Mills to this board. Lee Wimmer and Mark Johnson were appointed to assist this board and the council accepted a recom-mendation to appoint two citizens residing in the district area to serve with the board members. These citizens will be selected at a later meeting. The notice of the meeting of the Board will be advertized and the notice along with the assessment will be mailed to the property owners. Mr. Wimmer reviewed the need for fire hydrants in the city. He reported that an estimate of $173,750 would be needed to install needed hydrants to provide adequate fire protection to various areas of the city as recom-mended by the fire un- - n-- H "71? t? 100 East "i 4 Building IJr JZ U, I fp cri cd qp ocpo ftyHa" - o , 'jess ib ? y r"J ; Ya) ;- o c c ( Cx3 CuO C!-aL- ) CC) " yC1 C-- r phase one Ma,n str2it ii f ii i r1 tr "Tf: 1 t LJ a n i Downtown Plan Gets Lined Up, Only Meeds Money Now (Continued trom Page 1) plied for a grant to build the proposed building which the citizens also approved in a recent bond election. Frank feels that the city has an excellent chance of getting nearly 100 percent funding on the building. Phase two would be paid for by the businessmen in-volved and the city would pay for their share of the parking needed. That way the city would not have to sell the full amount of the bonds citizens approved this fall. Phase 2 could be initiated as fast as the businessmen are willing to move ahead and work with the city. Any sur-plus property would be used to strengthen our tax base. Fourth: Phase three in-volves the proposed police building and a future civic center. The drawing shows all of the old school building demolished and a new city t hall in its place. Our initial studies indicate that it would cost as much to remodel part of the old Jr. High for a city hall as it would be to tear down the building and put up a new facility that is better suited for our needs. Councilman Jack West did some initial drawings of how the old buildings could be converted. Those drawings are in the council chambers at the city hall. The school district has retained the shop and lunch room area as a sheltered workshop for the handicap-ped. They have indicated a willingness to sell the building to the city when we need it worse than they do. The biggest problem with the old buildings is that they would have to be updated to meet current fire, electrical and building codes. Struc-turally they are pretty sound. Presently the city architec-tural consultant is in-vestigating the size a city complex would have to be to house city offices, public hearing facilities, an old folks center, a new library, and all the other things a good civic center should have. The court facilities are presently being planned in the police facility. Financing could come from the solar energy people who would like to see facilities built in various areas of the country. Councilman Bezzant is checking these options out. While none of these things are certain yet, one thing is certain. Once we buy the old buildings we either have to occupy them or tear them down. Vandals are a real problem. Overall you will note that what we wind up with is basically a village green. A full block of business on the north of the park and a full block to the south. In the center you have a potential civic center which becomes the hub of your community to strengthen the heart of our community, the downtown business area. If you have looked around you will find that Pleasant Grove could have the best planned down-town area in the county. You probably have a lot of questions that will be an-swered in other articles as we go along and it might even be good to have another public meeting to let you ask the questions of concern. Needless to say we have looked at many options. The new semifore to be in-stalled along with the redesigning of the intersec-tion at Main and Highway 91 should help a great deal to solve some of our traffic problems. |
