From the Keep-Your-Eye-on-the-Ball Department:

"In a year when war in Iraq, the threat of terrorism and looming problems with the federal budget and the nation's health care system cry out for serious debate, the news organizations on which people should be able to depend have been diverted into chasing sham events."

Nixon drops subdivision request in Providence

By Shauna Leavitt

April 15, 2005 | PROVIDENCE -- Jack Nixon formally withdrew his plat approval application for the Eagleview Estates Phase Two Subdivision this week.

Nixon's plans were denied during the previous city council meeting because of non-compliance to public safety, water and city code requirements. The city council had advised Nixon that if he made the necessary changes the application could be approved.

The council members read a proclamation stating Providence would acknowledge April 2005 as Child Abuse Prevention Month. "Children make up 25 percent of crime victims. Last year, 250 children suffered from abuse in Cache Valley," said Jim Payant from the Child and Family Support Center. "With the help of Providence City, the citizens can help parents raise children safely."

Carma Lee Jensen requested an adoption of the final plat for Jensen Orchard Subdivision located approximately at 530 E. Canyon Road. Jensen had divided one lot and sold it to as two. The council required that the property owners who would be affected by this request sign the plat indicating their acceptance before the council will approve the final plat.

In other business, the council adopted a resolution adjusting the city budget. It also passed a resolution declaring a 20-ft. by 25-ft. parcel of property as surplus and authorizing a quit claim deed to the adjacent property owner was approved.
