Show Planning Commission Molds Last Meeting for Year Recently, Considers Varied Items Afterwards the commission discussed the problems with such an ordinance. It was recommended that the council authorize the planning commission to suggest changes in the ordinance in light of the complications involved with a public hearing. The motion to this affect was made and carried unanimously. Councilman Bezzant in-dicated that this would be his last meeting with the com-mission as his term of office would expire January 2. He thanked the members of the body for their great con-tributions to the city and wished them well in future planning. The planning commission held its last meeting of the year and considered a number of important items which will affect Pleasant Grove residents for many years to come. ENERGY CODE: Jack Jeppson, community development director, pre-sented the new Utah Code for Energy Conservation in New Building Construction. He indicated that the city is required by state law, passed last March, to either adopt the code as written by the State Building condemed according to state officials. DOWNTOWN A motion was made and unanimously passed recommending that the city council adopt the downtown master plan to insure proper development of that area. ANNEXATION Kenneth Millard, planning consultant, passed out charts indicating current land use in the city and talked about the area surrounding PI. Grove. After considerable discussion motion was made that the city council tell the planning commission how much area Board or draft an alternative to the code. He indicated that the new code will increase the cost of new construction and complicate the process for getting building permits because of the additional things that must be reviewed before construction may begin. The code is a result of Utah State Senate Bill 109 and contains over 100 pages of regulations and charts which must be complied with in order to get a building permit. Copies are available for inspection at the city hall. Several members of the commission felt that the code seemed unnecessary and that this code would increase building costs, and the need for more inspectors, as well as infringe further on individual freedom. OLD JR. HIGH. The disposition of the old Jr. High was discussed and the planning commission unanimously passed a motion recommending to the city council that the cost of up- - they would ever conceive of being included in Pleasant Grove so that proper planning could be done. It was also suggested that the city council and planning com-mission meet together to discuss just what the council would like done. Jack Jeppson showed a map which included the Manila area and ground toward the lake which would be helpful in the planning proccess. FOSTER CHILDREN A hearing was conducted pursuant to the ordinance recently passed by the council requiring that any person which would like to have two or more foster children must go through a public hearing. After considerable discussion and input from the neigh-borhood the planning com-mission recommended that a family living in the k area be allowed to have four foster children providing that certain stripulations are met. dating the building be thoroughly explored for a civic center compared with the cost of construction of a new facility and that the citizens be given a opportunity to vote at the polls as to whether or not they would like to update thebuilding for a civic center which could house a number of civic functions, or tear it down and build a new complex.

Watch Drinking During Holidays, Also Don't Drive A motorist runs a stop light and thunders through an intersection toward your car without warning. A large piece of lumber flies off a truck and into the path of your automobile. A child who is chasing a ball tumbles directly in front of your car. It's situations like these that you just can't handle if you've been drinking too much holiday cheer. Maybe you've tried drinking and driving without problems before. That only means that you didn't hap-pen to need those split second reflexes which alcohol dulls. Alcohol is a funny thing. It can sometimes make vou feel tha; you are capable and alert, when actually you just cannot handle an emergency situation. Don't turn the holidays in-to a nightmare you'll want to forget. Get someone else to drive or call a cab if you've been overdoing it. It will save you and others a lot of hear-tache. f N- - ( SUSAN FUGAL Will go to Italy Susan Fugal Will Go to Italy on L.D.S.
