The Wasatch County Commission (Utah) is considering a change to the MASTER PLAN zoning in the Northfields from 1 home per 20 acres, to 1 home per 5 acres. This decision will happen in November 2012. There has already been a public hearing in August, and the only input they will take now is written comments.

The Wasatch County Master Plan for A-20 zoning states: “Avoid excessive costs for public services in areas with high physical constraints, preserve the beauty of the entry corridors of Wasatch County, protect the underground water supply from pollution, and maintain an open rural buffer between Heber and Midway City.” (2002 Code § 16.06.01)

Please sign this petition (and leave your comments!) to ask them not to change the zoning, and allow the Northfields to stay ranchland as intended by the founding fathers of the Heber Valley.

The Northfields is in the north entry corridor of the valley, starting at the intersection of US 40 and River Road (highway 32) continuing south to Midway Lane (highway 113) and on the EAST side of the Provo River.

The comments provided on this petition offer a clear reflection of why the Northfields must remain rural ranchland. I am currently compiling these individual perspectives to present to the Wasatch County Commission as part of our formal written response. Maintaining the open space between our communities depends on our persistence in this matter.

The momentum behind this effort has grown significantly and demonstrates a shared commitment to preserving the character of the Northfields. Your written comments provide essential evidence for the Wasatch County Commission as they weigh the future of our rural corridors.

Please plan for long term quality of life and not for short term gains and preserve the north fields. That is one of the biggest elements that provide character and separate Heber from any town USA.

Keep the northfields like they are. We moved here for the rural feel and once you pave over it you cant get it back.

The northfields are the heart of what makes heber special. Please leave the zoning alone and stop the overdevelopment.

Think about the future and not just money for developers. My kids love seeing the horses and open space there.
