Show City Council Meeting Tuesday Night E3os fJlony Problems Brought for Discussion All members of the city council were present at the regular meeting held last Tuesday evening except councilman coun-cilman Ford West who was on vacation. The meeting began at 6:00 p.m. to provide time for a public hearing to discuss with interested citizens the possible issuance of garbage dump permits. There were three residents present at the meeting to discuss this matter with the council. Mayor Haynie explained that some cities in the county have issued garbage dump permits to their citizens who desire to take garbage to the Lindon landfill. These permits per-mits are collected at the landfill lan-dfill and the city is then billed for the number of people from that city that has used the dump. He noted that this results in the city paying for the citizens use of the dump and results in a subsidy to those people who take garbage gar-bage to the landfill site. If this were to be done in Pleasant Grove the cost of the permit would have to be paid out of user fees and therefore all people in town would be paying for the use of the dump by those citizens who haul garbage to the dump. The question of increasing user fees vs. having the person per-son who takes garbage to the dump pay for this use was discussed. The general feeling of those present was that if a dumo site can be located in n that any citizen desiring to haul garbage to the site may do so and that the fee for a pick up load is $1.50. Mayor Haynie noted that the landfill is now operated by a private concern and that they do not wish to have to collect money. He indicated that the district is considering having residents residen-ts of the cities in the county buy their permits from the various city offices. Mr. Rick Clark and Sharon Smith residents of the Heritage Hills Subdivision presented a petition to the city council which requested j that all development in the area of their subdivision be stopped until better access to the area can be developed. They noted the problem of I traffice on 100 North Street and the narrowness of the road. This being a particular problem as children walk to school. They noted the I problem of getting to church and school because of the lack of through streets. The council coun-cil indicated that a halt to the development in the area will i naturally result if another road is not developed into the area. j It was noted that the ' present sewer line on 100 Nor- (Continued on Page 3) close proximity to the city that to pay $1.50 per pick up load by the person taking the garbage to the landfill would not be objectionable by most citizens. It was noted that the Lindon Lin-don landfill is again open and City Council Session Tuesday Has Many Items to Discuss selling the business but would prefer to stay in business if at all possible. He noted that he has been contacted by other theater management who would buy the business but the quality of the movies would - be questionable. The council expressed appreciation ap-preciation to Mr. Allen for the type of movies he has brought into town and issued a plea to local citizens to show their appreciation to Mr. Allen for the high standards he has maintained for entertainment by patronizing the local theater. The mayor reviewed the proposal submitted by the fourth ward for removal of the trees from the future central park site. This organization would removed the trees and provide a payment to the city. The council voted to have this organization remove the trees. The trees must be removed by August 1st. It is hoped that the bids for grading and leveling of the , park can be awarded by this date. The council voted to authorize Mayor Haynie to sign an agreement with the State Department of Transportation Tran-sportation for maintenacne of street lights to be istalled in conjunction with the signal light planned for highway 91 and main street. The council voted to appoint Councilman Frank Mills as Mayor Pro Tempore for meetings when Mayor Haynie might be absent. This appoint ment will be for six months. (Continued from page 1) th is fast becoming overloaded and that the solution to this problem is running a new sewer line in the proposed 100 South Road. The council discussed the need for 100 South and Center Street to go through and it was decided that the planning committee and road committee meet with the property owners to determine deter-mine when these two roads might be extended east to the canal. The final plat of Blackhawk Subdivision Plat D was reviewed by the council. It was recommended that this plat not be approved until an acceptable alternative to handle han-dle the drainage water be presented for approval by the council. The council reviewed the annexation ordinance of the property owned by Glen Noble on 600 West and 1100 North. The council voted to accept this annexation and approve the ordinance, by a vote of 3 to 1. The council reviewed the Taylor annexation which is located north of 1100 North and between 100 West and 100 East and approved the annexation and acceptance of the ordinance again by a 3 to 1 vote. An annexation plat for Brian Carson for property located at about 1300 North and 500 East was reviewed. It was reported that several months ago when the property proper-ty was first reviewed for annexation an-nexation that the lots were to be one acre in size. It was noted that now the property had been sold and that the two owners desire to further divide the lots into one half acre. The council felt that this matter should be reviewed prior to the annexation- as it was understood that the residents of the two subdivisions sub-divisions adjoining the property had requested that the particular area be maintained main-tained as one acre lots. Councilman Bezzant reported repor-ted that he has contacted several wrecking companies about obtaining a bid on demolishing the old Junior High buildings. He noted that bids will be received in the next few weeks. The council reviewed the request of Tom Hamann for a resthome to be located south of the central school off of Center Street. The council reviewed the matter at length and discussed the neighbors reasons for opposition to the proposal. The matter was taken to a vote and passed with three councilman voting in favor of issuing the special use permit and one councilman coun-cilman abstaining requesting that he be given more time to review the matter. The use was conditioned on the following: 1) that the problem of the ditch be taken care of, 2) that a rendering of the facility and how it will be located on the lot be provided the council and that the rendering ren-dering detail the landscaping and that this plan be approved, ap-proved, 3) that the proposed tall retaining wall be eliman-ted eliman-ted and 4) that arrangements be made with the property owners to provide them, within reason, the type of fen-ce'acceptable fen-ce'acceptable to them. Hyrum Holt, member of the American Legion, expressed appreciation to the council for the flag pole which was donated by the city and installed in-stalled at the swimming pool park. He indicated that a local resident has volunteered to install lights on the flag pole if a power source could be made available. The council authorized Mr. Holt to make arragements to tie into the power at the swimming pool. Lee Wimmer, city consulting consult-ing engineer, met with the council to discuss several matters of business. He reviewed the Hollingdale subdivision sub-division and noted the need for a water line to loop with the Locust Avenue line. He discussed the problem of maintaining the proposed 1000 South street as this is half in Lindon and half in Pleasant Grove. He suggested that dialogue with the Lindon officals begin so that the questions of maintenance of the road providing of utilities, etc. could be worked out. The final subdivision linen of the Pleasant Grove industrial park was presented to the council and approved. This is the property presently being developed offofhighway91at about 200 south. Mr. Wimmer reviewed with the council the rough draft of the notice of intention in-tention for the special improvements im-provements districts in the city. He asked that the council members reviewed the list of streets to be included in the district and to determine the accuracy of the description and locations. It was noted that the extent of the area to be covered has been greatly reduced because of the cost to the city in establishing and constructing the improvement im-provement districts. The developers of the Hollingdale Subdivision were present to review the final plat and request approval of this plat. These gentlemen reviewed re-viewed the vicinity plan of the subdivision which is planned plan-ned to be constructed at about 800 south between Locust Avenue and Highway 91.
