City council members recently approved Ordinance 2012-01, by a 4-0 vote, establishing temporary rezoning regulations for their R-3 zone (multiple-family residential zone).

According to City Manager Jeff Oyler, it became necessary to make changes to the city’s R-3 zone so it can reduce the density of units per acre for any new construction.

A moratorium was granted by the city council while it allows for any changes or recommendations to be made by the planning commission.

Fruit Heights officials consider recycling program

Correspondent Standard-Examiner

The city has begun looking into the possibility of adding a recycling option for its residents.

Several requests from interested residents have been received, so the city has started the initial process of looking into the costs.

Residents are currently paying $14.55 for their first garbage can, $8.30 for a second can if desired, and $6 for a green waste recycling can.

The city is considering the addition of a plastics and paper recycling can, which could ultimately reduce the amount of garbage put into the resident’s garbage cans. The city plans to research several options and hear professional opinions at upcoming council meetings before scheduling a public hearing.

FRUIT HEIGHTS -- Davis County Animal Care and Control officials hope cities will adopt ordinances requiring the licensing of cats and allowing an additional pet per household.

The ordinances are aimed at helping animal control staff return more wandering and loose animals to their owners, thus curbing the number of dogs and cats that have to be euthanized.

KAYSVILLE -- The National Guard has gone home, but efforts to clean up the damage from last week's powerful windstorm continue.

The temporary dumping ground, which was set up Sunday at the site of the future Pioneer Park on Angel Street in Kaysville, is slowly getting smaller as trucks continue to make round trips to the Davis County landfill.
