Kaysville

KAYSVILLE — A final decision on the West Davis Corridor is still at least a year away, but the state is already purchasing property along the proposed route.

Utah Department of Transportation will use corridor preservation funds to acquire two Kaysville properties in the path of the would-be highway.

Lyle McMillan, UDOT director of right of way, said the first property is at approximately 2900 W. Schick Lane in Kaysville and is currently owned by the families of Devan Robins and Alice Kay Winegar. The property, currently vacant, is 15.34 acres and has been appraised at $2.15 million.

The second property, owned by BAC Kaysville LLC, is at approximately 1100 West Schick Lane. The vacant land is 1.90 acres and has been appraised at $256,500.

Six real estate figures from Weber and Davis counties have been charged with felonies alleging fraud in the sales of homes along the Wasatch Front.

The defendants conspired in tacking on bogus fees to transactions involving 13 homes from 2007 to 2010, according to the allegations.

“Defendants deceived and defrauded lenders, sellers and buyers who believed fraudulent, fictitious or invalid fees, costs and liens associated with the subject properties had to be cleared in order for the sale to close,” read the charging documents.

KAYSVILLE — The clay model depicting a firefighter looking heavenward on bended knee while holding a small child in his arms is symbolic of the events that unfolded on Sept. 11, 2001.

The 9/11 attacks on New York City and Washington, D.C., resulted in the deaths of 2,996 people.

Springville artist Angela Johnson has been commissioned for $8,000 to create a 10-foot-tall bronze-cast sculpture capturing the emotions of the event.

Johnson’s statue, titled “Heroes of 9-11 Protecting the Future,” will be the finishing touch on the 9/11 memorial being created at Utah State University Botanical Gardens, 875 S. 50 West, in Kaysville.
