V WHEREAS, the past and present policies pursued by the Salt Lake County government with respect to the development of subdivisions in unincorporated areas within the county has brought about a rapid and extensive growth of urban type residential areas; and WHEREAS, such residential areas require the same type of municipal services as do the regularly incorporated municipalities in the county; and; WHEREAS, the County government has assumed to render such municipal services to said residential areas and thereby has extended County govern- ment into fields not appropriate to such government; and WHEREAS, the result has been, and will continue to be, to place an inequitable and unnecessary burden upon the taxpayers in the incorporated municipalities of the county by imposing taxes upon such taxpayers to sustain the furnishing of municipal services to the unincorporated areas at a cost to them now estimated at approximately 11/2 million dollars: NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF SALT LAKE CITY that the Board of County Commissioners of Salt Lake County take immediate steps to correct this inequitable situation. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that to correct such situation it is suggested that due consideration be given to the policy adopted by Weber County, which, in brief, requires that any area sought to be subdivided be first annexed to an existing incorporated municipality or be created into an incorporated municipality by itself, and that all unincorporated areas in the county be so zoned as to lot size for each dwelling as to make urban type development impractical and undesirable while remaining outside an incorporated community. -2- BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Recorder deliver this resolution to the Board of County Commissioners. Passed by the Board of Commissioners of Salt Lake City, Utah, 14th this day of July, 1965. 7 7 / ..„,./ i/4,___ MAYOR /' '\CI,TY( E CITY o'►ER
