Show THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 9, 1976 PLEASANT GROVF REVIEW. PLEASANT GROVE, UTAH THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 9, 1976 Lengthy Public Hearing Held A lengthy public hearing was held in regards to the Leland Swensen proposed four-famil- y dwellings on 200 South last Tuesday at the Planning Commission meeting. Neighborhood feelings were expressed and they were mostly against multiple dwellings in the area. The Swensens gave an explanation of their intended use of the homes. After lengthy discussion the Planning Commission voted to recom-mend approval of the dwelling group. It was found that the use of the land and buildings as described by the Swensens will substantially serve the public health, convenience and welfare and will not be in-jurious to the appropriate uses of other property in the area and is in harmony with the comprehensive plan of the city. The property will be used with lower aensity than is otherwise permitted in the zoning district. Blaine Crop-per was voted an approval on the multiple dwelling he wishes to build at 3rd East and 3rd South, also at the meeting, and approval was given for Wayne Holman's property. Final plats were approved and signed for Craigwood Estates, Pleasant Green Acres, Heritage Hills, and Sage Hills. It was voted also to recom-mend that the city council adopt 1 inch minimum water lines to be run to the meter in all sub divisions. Jack Jep-pso- n read a newly formed Ex-cavating Permit to the Plan-ning Commission for their ap-proval and study. I " X s ," VOTED ON Melanie Jones, left, Miss Friendly, Sherrie Hullinger, School Spirit and Oyvind Evensen, Mr. Friendly.

It pulled through just, great. Welcome back week worked ! out well too. Everyone was saying Hi to everyone. They welcomed back the eighth and ninth and welcomed in the seventh grade. At the end of the week everyone voted for the most friendly girl and boy. The girl who won "Miss Friendly" was Melanie Jones and "Mr. Friendly" was Vind Evensen. division (2 lots) was reviewed and approved by the council. Final Plat C of Sage Hills subdivision (17 lots was also reviewed and approved. Mayor Haynie reviewed with the council an ap-plication to the Environmen-tal Protection Agency for a grant in aid to repair many of the old sewer lines to prevent infiltration of water into the system. The engineering relating to this work was also reviewed. The council voted to authorize the mayor to sign both the application and the agreement. Councilman Atwood repor-ted that the planning com-mission had discussed the need to provide for water lines running from the main line to the meter box to be one inch. The need for this is to provide that if a resident wishes to change from a 3A in-ch meter to a one inch meter it will not require that the road be dug up to replace the pipe. City Council The main contention of the people present protesting th' rezoning was the eroding of the d zone which could lead to allowing further uses of the property which they felt would be detrimental to the area. After two hours of discussion the council voted 4 to 1 to not allow the rezoning of the area. Councilman Mills . voted in favor of the rezoning stating he felt that the use of the property would not be detrimental to the present residential use of the proper-ty. Mrs. Gayle Judd, chairman of the Community Progress Program, reviewed with the council the community progress scrapbook. Ad-ditional information was ob-tained from the council to be inserted in the book. Mrs. Judd also reported that the scrapbook will be on display during the convention for cities and towns which is being held in Salt Lake City on Sept. 9, 10 and 11. The council expressed ap-preciation to Mrs. Judd for her time and work in this program and in preparing the scrapbook. Garbage Collection Walter Parker, owner of Lindon Disposal Service, presented an income and ex-pense report for his operation. It showed that a rate higher than the present $2.00 per month is required to provide a gain on the operation of the solid waste collection service (garbage service). It was noted that presently the city bills $2.00 per month per pickup and remits to Mr. Parker $1.67, which gives the city 33 for billing and collecting. Mr. Parker was asked why he had waited until after the budget had been edstablished to ask for a rate increase. He said that because of other business interests he had been unable to review the operation of the garbage pickup and determine that a rate increase would be necessary to stay in business. He submitted a copy of his expenses and income which showed that he is not meeting expenses at the present fee. The council reviewed this problem and decided that a public information meeting should be held to inform the citizens of the need to raise garbage pickup rates. The council agreed to hold this meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 21, to review with the citizens of Pleasant Grove this matter. It was noted that there are three alternatives: 1. raise the rates and continue with the Lindon Disposal Co. 2. Keep present rates by getting the city back into the business and subsidize the operation, this being necessary as the city would have the same ex-penses as the private firm, and probably would not operate as efficiently. 3. Not increase rates and cause the private firm to go broke, at least on this operation. The council will decide what course of action to take after the public hearing. Howard Walker, developer of Craigwood Subdivision, was present at the meeting to request final approval of Plat B (4 lots). The council ap-proved the final plat subject to installation of a culvert to cover the drainage ditch on the property for the width of the roadway and a minor change on the plat. Leland Swensen and other family members were present at the meeting to hear the decision of the city council on their request for two homes to be located at about 875 East 200 South. Coun-cilman Grant Atwood read the minutes of the public hearing which had been held by the planning commission. It was noted that many of the property owners in this area are opposed to the units. Mr. Swensen explained that the units will not be rental units but will be owned as separate homes with a com-mon carport and sun deck. He felt that people protesting at the public hearing were protesting rental units and these will be homes with single ownership and not ren-tal units. The council felt that if some protection could be given that these homes would not be used for rental units that the property owners would not be so opposed. It was noted by Councilman Mark Bezzant that under the terms of the ordinance that to be able to construct the four units as proposed requires a special use permit and that permit is only valid as long as the struc-ture is used in compliance with the terms of the permit. He felt that this provides a protection to the adjoining property owners as the units would be allowed under the condition that the homes be under single ownership and that they not be used as rental units. Should anyone wish to change this use to rentals, then another public hearing would have to be held and the property owners would then again have an opportunity to protest the new use. The council voted to delay action on this matter until a feeling from the adjoining property owners could be ob-tained. 3 More Homes Guy Fugal, developer of Pleasant Green Acres, was present at the meeting to request approval of his final Plat A (3 lots). The council voted to approve this plat subject to the engineers review and approval. The final Plat E of Heritage Hills Sub- - It was reported that recen-tly several people have changed from 3A inch meters to 1 inch meters because of the addition of a sprinkling system and this has necessitated digging into the city street. If the one inch line is initially installed a inch meter can be replaced with a one inch meter without having to dig up the road. The council agreed to adopt a resolution establishing this as city policy. Planning Minutes The minutes of the planning commission meeting held Sept. 2, 1976 were reviewed by the council. Concerning the request of David Cropper for a duplex at 300 East and 100 South the council voted to ac-cept the recommendation of the planning commission to allow this use. The council reviewed the proposed ordinance which would require that curb, gut-ter and sidewalk be required for all new homes being built in Pleasant Grove. It was reported that when the aerial photos are completed that the necessary engineering can almost all be prepared from these photos so that total ' areas can be planned at one time. The council voted to pro-ceed with establishing this requirement in the form of an ordinance. The matter of placing the development of the Central Park on the November ballot was reviewed. Councilman Mills recommended that the council take action to get this proposal on the ballot in November. The council ap-proved this action. A subdivision plan submit-ted by Ed Luck was reviewed. Councilman Atwood noted that this subdivision' falls un-der the minor subdivision provisions of the state code and recommended approval of the plan under the terms of the minor subdivision requirements. The council ap-proved this recommendation. Councilman Ford West reported that Alex Hunt, city police officer, had accepted employment with the county sheriff's department and that ' a new patrolman will be hired ' by October 1. t Councilman Bezzant repor-ted that an open house is planned for the wastewater treatment plant during the week of Sept. 27. The purpose of this is to provide an oppor-tunity for citizens to tour the plant and become familiar with its operation and problems, particularly in complying with state and i PA discharge requirements. V petition from property t vners on the north side of 200 South Street from 700 East Street to Loader Drive, requesting zone change from the present R-- l zone to a d zone or a d zone was reviewed. The council voted to refer this request to the plan- - ning commission for review.This zone change is tied into the proposed building of dwellings by Leland Swensen and his familv in this area.

Last year as of October 1, 1975, there were 20,230 students, thus far there have been 21,098 students enrolled with another 20-3- 0 students expec-ted to enroll throughout the district. Presently there is an increased enrollment of 868 students in the district. Currently there are 89 sut-den- ts attending Lindon Elementary due to the over-crowded elementary schools in Orem. Out of the nine elementary schools in Orem eight of the schools are presently housing more than 600 students which is the number of students the schools were designed to ac-commodate. NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING The city council will hold a public meeting Tuesday evening at 6:00 p.m. in the city hall to review the need to increase garbage pickup fees to a maximum of $2.85 per month effective September 1st. The need to increase fees has become apparent as the city has discussed present financial operation with the contracting firm of Lindon Disposal Company. To be able to operate the garbage pickup profitabily the owner of the company has indicated that a fee of $2.50 is required. To maintain current income projections and to recover the costs of billing and collecting the city needs to receive 35'. The council wishes to meet with interested citizens to ex-plain the need for the increase and receive imput from the local citizens on this decision. Cost figures preliminarally show that should the city get back into the business of solid waste collection that ap-proximately the same cost of operation as the private firm would be experienced by the city, therefore to maintain the existing rate would require subsidy from the general fund, a situation which the general fund can not afford. All citizens are invited to attend this meeting and ex-press their opinions.
