A public hearing is
scheduled on July 3, 2012 at 10AM in the Weber County Commission chambers regarding
Zoning Text Amendment ZTA 2012-05, amending Chapter 5B (Agricultural Valley
AV-3) Zone Section 5B-3. Permitted Uses
Requiring five (5) acres minimum Lot Area to allow Custom Exempt Meat Cutting
including wild game, and amend Chapter 1 (General Provision by adding a new
definition of Custom Exempt Meat Cutting).
These issues should be
a concern for every one in the Ogden Valley.
Garret Jones is asking
to allow custom meat cutting in the AV3 Zone and wishes to add a new definition
for custom exempt meat cutting. The whole of Ogden Valley and Weber County should
be concerned and question the impact of such a change. Citizens at the July 3rd
meeting should express all of their questions to the County Commissioners.
One question we should all ask, is how does custom meat cutting,
wrapping and preparation of meat (wild and domestic) help maintain Ogden Valley’s
rural atmosphere and life style?

Another attempt by the big guys to run roughshod over the Valley residents. Turn out and sink their plan. The WC Commission needs to hear it from the people on this issue.
ReplyDeleteI see know reason not to support the Jones on this issue. Its just another business trying to make a living in this Valley. As a business owner myself the lack of support shown to me by this Valley is appauling. I have to find my business elsewhere to survive. I've never seen Mrs. Tuck or Mr. Segaps in my shop!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe problem is that the Jones's want to taylor the ordinances to suit what they want to do. If everyone that wanted to do business in the Valley was able to do that, we could have a 30 story Ritz-Carlton hotel here too. The ordinances are designed to protect the Ogden Valley from those kinds of development.
ReplyDeletewhere was the support against the valley prison?
ReplyDeleteBack to the trough again for these guys....whatever happened to no means no.....lets see if the county caves this time around.....
ReplyDeleteHello Mr Stevens Have we met? Where and what kind of business do you have?I am sure you do not park dead animal carcasses half way on the the
ReplyDeletestreet for children going to the bus or bringing friends home to see and several other activities not fitting in a rural neighbor hood We (the neighbors) are trying to keep the reasons we live here We do not want an Industrial center Sandi Tuck
You realize that custom meat cutting has been happening in the valley forever. They were givin permission by the county like everyone else and because of some ridiculous neighbors this has turned into a big thing. It was never a big deal before.
ReplyDeleteYeah Slade, when it is next door it is a little different. What we don't need is a butcher shop unless you want it in your garage.
ReplyDeleteEver seen the so called meet packing lined up in the parking lot of the Valley Market scrambling for ice for coolers upon coolers in multiple trucks with racks on the roof like Boss Hogg?...now thats ridculous...what was even more funny was the "men" touting the hunt as if they were Jeremiah Johnson....
ReplyDelete(Laura) it has to be next door to someone. Wouldn't a butcher shop in someones garage be worse than confined to agricultural parcels? In a garage would mean it could be any were in the valley. This ordinance, if I am reading it correctly is ag parcels and they must be on a collector rd or arterial rd. That means 95 percent of the neighborhoods in the valley would not be included.
ReplyDelete(Smaatguy)your comments never make sense to anyone but you, but I think that your comment is talking about hunters buying ice to keep meat cool? Isn't that great business for Valley Market? Not to mention all the other things that the hunters are buying that help support our economy. More and more homes in Ogden valley do not actually give money to our economy. Who are you to judge these men and what type of people they are or what they do for fun?
who are you to judge what people do for fun or what adventures they have been on? Seems like good business for valley market too, not to mention all the other stuff besides ice that they buy.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it be worse if it could be in anyones garage?
ReplyDeleteThe way custom exempt meat cutting helps maintain a rural atmosphere is it allows farmers, ranchers, and everyone else a way to eat an animal that they raise on their own property. It keeps people in business that grow alfalfa and grain or graze cattle, pigs, sheep or anything. If farmers can't make money on their land they'll sell it off like everyone else. If that happens we'll live in neighborhoods like everyone in Ogden and all the other cities. I don't know about you but I live in ogden valley becasue of the Ag. and the rural atmosphere. How does it not help is my question?
ReplyDeleteSo Slade, since this idea seems to fit your views, how about we put a 30 story office building in Ogden Valley, right next to your home? That will suite someone else's view of what is appropriate.
