Show Council approves zone changes By MARCELLA WALKER Pleasant Grove City Council approved two zone change requests Tuesday, March 19, at the regular city council meeting. 1 A portion of the Garden Village i subdivision was changed from A-2 to TR-1 and Country Meadows was changed from A-2 to R-l. It had been made R-l before but then it was accidently zoned back to A-2. The approval of the zone change requests followed public hearings on each request. The presently developed part of Garden Village contains modular homes on permanent foundations, regular sized streets, setbacks, etc. The developer wanted to change the zone to allow the other plats in the subdivision to have mobile homes and recreationalvehicles. The developer assured the council that no overnight parking of recreation vehicles would be allowed. The present property owners in Garden Village expressed concern that the change in development plans would reduce the value of their homes. They, however, noted that they understood the position of the developer, Tellum Corp. The developer told the council that they were now looking at 198 available spaces and would call it a mobile home park. Originally, the concept called for 165 lots. This would have been 6.35 homes per acre. The change will allow for 7.5 units per acre. Mayor David Holdaway said that probably the TR-1 zone is the correct one for the site anyway and felt it should have been zoned that originally. He did suggest that the city consider con-sider making a new zone with inclusions in-clusions and covenants that would be in keeping with the needs of the people there. There were no objections to changing Country Meadows to R-l. The council also approved Country Meadows Plat B which included covering a ditch on the west side and getting an easement through lot 14 for a ditch. |
