Show WJlEiloott Ait's KIot Eott7 Parti' Woods Cross City Council meeting was held Tuesday evening at city hall under the direction of Mayor LeRoy Parkin. Numerous items of business were discussed, but principal issues concerning the construction and placement of facilities at the proposed city park on 1100 South brought the major interest. THIRTY-SIX residents of the area were present to express their views of the situation, si-tuation, through spokeswoman, spokes-woman, Delores Haacke. Although the residents were pleased that the park is proposed for their area, Mrs. Haacke stated that the little league ball diamond would cause traffic problems which would endanger children living liv-ing on the street which enters the park. SHE ALSO said little league occupies the major portion of the park capacity, with practices prac-tices and games, leaving little time for other uses. The one street which gives entry to the park would be over crowded, the noise would be a disturbance distur-bance to residents, and the game would end up in everyone's yard because of the small area included in the park floor (approximately 400 by 4001. she said. The residents voiced agreement that they would like the park, but exclude the ball field. COUNCILMAN Larry Landward presented a proposed park plan prepared for Syracuse which will occupy oc-cupy space similar to that proposed for the 1100 South area, which drew applause from those attending the meeting. No decision was made by the council at this time, due to the absence of Dan Evans, councilman over parks and recreation, who is vacationing in southern Utah this week. A meeting is scheduled upon his return. ALSO IN attendance at the meeting was Lloyd Morrison, a resident of Tanglewood interested in the proposed tree barrier which was to be planted near Interstate 15, but has not been initiated at the . present time. He asked assistance from the council to contact those proposing the project, for a beginning date. THOSE living near the freeway are interested in a continuation of the landscape project by the State Highway Deparment. The mayor agreed to notify those in charge for information of a starting date. An ordinance and resolution resolu-tion was presented to the council for approval to participate par-ticipate in the Federal Flood Insurance Program. Councilman Council-man Landward met with City Attorney Keith Stahle to draw up necessary papers for the documents, which were approved unanimously by the council.
