Show RV site planned By CHERIE HI Br R The Davis County Planning Commission approved a conditional condi-tional use permit which will allow an off-road vehicle recreation area to be developed near Syracuse. Developer of the area will be Kevin Weaver. Twenty acres will be used for the initial site. The facility will provide a place in Davis County for enjoyment of off-road vehicles. This type of machine can not legally be operated on public roads and at the same time is barred from most public lands.
