Show Review - Thursday, July 26, 1984 - Page 3 Residents prefer special improvement proposal Kent Prestwich, representing the residents of 1400 E. Street, told the Pleasant Grove City Council Tuesday that the majority of property owners were in favor of one of the two proposals suggested at a neighborhood meeting recently. The preferred proposal would allow for the regular six inch high curb and gutter on the west side of 1400 East and a rolled curb would be provided on the east side of the road for most of the length of the street. The street would be 24 feet wide on the north end with some asphalted parking strips provided on the east side of the road. Because of a road which is anticipated to be built to a proposed church behind the Lynn Searle home, the regular curb and gutter would be installed on the east side of the road from the proposed road to 200 South. In this location the road would also be widened to 36 feet. The city council had included 1400 East in the proposed Special Im-provement District with the intent to provide asphalt and curb and gutter on the street. The residents were concerned with some engineering problems on the street because it is not a straight street, the properties on the east side are high and the ones on the west side are low, and irrigation water needed to be properly han-dled. Mr. Prestwich indicated that he felt that most of the property owners were in favor of the proposal and expected that only a few would protest the district. The 1400 East project is one of four that the city has included in the proposed special improvement district. Others are extending the sewer line into the Firwood Sub-division, the Cascade Subdivision and the street improvements in Crystal View Subdivision. V s 1 I i (If? t i ;:, W !

Boat harbor fun place Norman Castle has been in the tat business in Utah County for : Ipast 14 years. Thus the Boat Harbor was a natural project for hiin when Lindon City was looking tor someone to take it over That particular spot on the lake has been a resort since way back in 1800. One of his neighbors.now age 75 remembers dancing there by the lake when she was a teenager. In 934 the lake was completely dry and a person could walk clear across the lake. Mow the lake has been record high with the last two years : excessive water draining into it from all the surrounding rivers, t Spanish Fork River, American p0rk River, Provo River and others. : The high dike makes a safe boat harbor. It is shielded from the wind. Ixads of fine gravel have been hauled in to make a good parking lot for cars. There is room for 50 boats with 46 rental booths. Sail boards, fishing boats, and jet ski's are for rent at the harbor. They are proud of their floating snack bar, and their fuel dock. With the high water, swimming is great in the clean lake. The silt is down deep enough it doesn't get stirred up, so the water is cleaner than ever. During the week the water's the smoothest and the fewest people come so that makes it possible to feel like you have your own private lake. They also have the lowest gas prices of any marina in the country. "It has been a challenge, but it's also been a lot of fun," Mr. Castle says. "We stay open 24 hours a day, with a guard on duty to protect the boats." People leave their boats there from March to November, some even into December or until ice starts to form on the lake. An ice skating rink might be possible this year. That, too, would be fun. Overnight camping brings people to the park. Camping on your boat or on the shore in a tent in the relaxing atmosphere gives a nice break from everyday life. Motorhomes stop there, too. "A place that will be fun for families," is Norman Castles' idea of a boat harbor, and a goal of his own. Perhaps if we all support his efforts it will be a fun place for families for many years to come. Police department wants to buy into state retirement Lt. Tom Paul of the Pleasant Grove Police Department made a proposal to the Pleasant Grove City Council last Tuesday to allow the department to buy in to the state retirement system for police of-ficers. He suggested that the men use their overtime pay to buy in to the system. He noted that each man would not have to pay more than is required for him to buy in. An of-ficer with low seniority will not have to pay as much to get into the system with credit for the number of years of service as do the chief and others of longer employment with the department. When a man has paid in his allotment, his overtime would be paid to him as salary, Lt. Paul added. The city council had approved the proposal for the department to change retirement systems some time ago. The city council stated, however, that the city would not be able to provide the money for the buy in and the officers would have to do that themselves. Lt. Paul said that the buy in period could be spread out over a three year period. The officer also showed the council pictures of the new police car with the inscription "Pleasant Grove Police" on the door. This will be placed on all of the police cars to help identify them. Home occupation mulled by council A home occupation on the Arden Kitchen Estate on 500 N. and Sage Drive was deliberated by the City Council Tuesday night. Perry Enterprises has proposed to buy the home and the Perry family will live there. Catalog sales of the cassette tapes and music developed by the firm will be prepared and mailed from the home under the proposal. The city building inspector at first could see nothing wrong with the proposal and was ready to recommend it to the council when he learned that about five em-ployees would be involved in the home occupation. The ordinance stipulates that no employees are allowed. Councilman David Dickerson pointed out that other home oc-cupations such as ls hire employees all the time and nothing has been done to curtail this. The Planning Commission will ask for an opinion from the City Attorney as to whether the Perry's could go into business under the present ordinance or whether a change would have to be made. It was noted that the neighbors have not objected to the home oc-cupation and there is plenty of parking available for the five employees and it would not disturb the neighbors. I Council lowers mill levy In order to maintain the status i;: quo the Pleasant Grove City : Council Tuesday night established : the 1984-8- mill levy at 1 9.77 mills. This is a decrease from the 21.3 mills of last year. Mark Johnson, city recorder, reported that because of the supreme court decision the city had to lower the levy. He explained that the city will collect the same amount of money because of increased property assessments. The city council decreased the mill levy by 1.3 mills. The council has adopted a budget of $1,752,084 for the fiscal year which began July 1. Accident damages autos in the rear by one driven by German S. Goulding, 216 E. 1600 S., Orem.
