Layton

The Layton Planning Commission approved the conceptual plan and rezone development agreement for Harmony Place. The residential development will consist of 117 lots with single-family, patio-style homes. A park and a school will eventually be built in the development. Jeff Martineau is the developer on the project. The Layton City Council is scheduled to give final approval later this month.

LAYTON (Deseret News) — Don't expect to go to Doug and Emmy's for a New Year's breakfast.

The Layton eatery, descended from the same stock as nearby Sill's Cafe, has received its walking papers. It's the latest of the South Main Street businesses to make plans to pull up roots.

With construction on the $97 million southern Layton I-15 interchange ramping up, Doug and Emmy's, which has been in its location at 200 S. Main since May 1992, will lose a significant portion of its property.

LAYTON (Deseret News) — Davis County residents who are itching to recycle but haven't persuaded their cities to implement a curbside program will have the option to recycle in early 2010.

And they can do it at a place they're already used to taking waste: the Layton landfill.

The landfill's owner, the Wasatch Integrated Waste Management District, broke ground Wednesday for a $1.1 million recycling drop-off center, which will be designed to accept various recyclable materials and bundle them to be sold.

LAYTON (Davis County Clipper) — At Hill AFB, the jobs picture is rosy, even “precedent-setting.”

That was the message shared with hundreds of Northern Utah small business owners, including many from Davis County, last week by Maj. Gen. Andrew Busch.

The commander of the Ogden Air Logistics Center at the base was the keynote speaker for a procurement symposium sponsored by state economic development officials.

LAYTON (Deseret News) — Business owners on Layton's Main Street may get to keep some of their parking after all.

The Utah Department of Transportation has agreed to redesign a new interchange in southern Layton that would have eliminated some of the business parking on Main Street.

LAYTON (Davis County Clipper) — It’s still very much a work in progress, but planning for Layton’s new hotel/mall area “interconnecting walking trail/park” is moving forward.

Originally called the “yellow brick road” by Davis Convention & Visitors Bureau CEO Barbara Riddle, the idea was to make it easier for visitors to hotels and others to reach nearby destinations.

LAYTON (Deseret News) — It's been years since John Sill first heard that the south Layton freeway interchange could take his restaurant.

But once the Utah Department of Transportation gave him notice he would need to vacate the property on the south end of Main Street where his family has owned land for 150 years, he got moving.

Sill, the owner of Sill's Cafe, has found a new location to move the local eatery where he worked as a boy.

Sill's Cafe will have a new home starting in November at 374 E. Gentile St., across the parking lot from Burger Stop.

(Deseret News) That Double-Double is just a few months away, close enough you can almost taste it.

And as the months progress, it will take progressively shorter drives to reach what could the be most anticipated restaurant to come to northern Utah.

Add Centerville to the list of cities where residents may order from one of the simplest menus in the restaurant business: hamburger, cheeseburger, Double-Double, fries, drink, shake.

Parents have argued with their children for years to shut down the computer and play outside. "We're losing a lot of kids to the basement," said Diana Ross, co-owner of Playspace Designs.

LAYTON — The Layton City Council is expected to vote Thursday on a rezone request by a developer who wants to build 303 housing units in an area known for damaging landslides.

The expected vote likely will take place in front of resident-formed coalitions to oppose the development. The meeting is set for 7 p.m. at Layton City Hall, 437 N. Wasatch Drive.

The residents say they are not opposed to all development; they just want responsible development.

The Layton City Council is mulling whether to rezone 70 acres near Antelope Drive for a mixed-use housing project in the face of opposition from residents who say the hillside is unstable.

North Salt Lake-based Hawkins Homes wants to build a project that would include 157 townhouses and 146 single-family units on the parcel labeled in city documents as the Adams Property LLC. The average density is equivalent to four units per acre.

The proposal would leave 16 acres as open space near Kays Creek.
