Today's word on journalism

More from the Do-Gooder File:

"For much of his career, he could outthink, out-hustle, out-report, outeat, outdrink and outwork any other journalist in the country. But if his excesses were occasionally unbridled, they were driven by his passion to get a good story and root out the bad guys. ... He could get excited about an investigation of public corruption or a bizarre animal story. We once spent weeks following a story about a dog on 'death row' that Bob believed was 'innocent.'"

--Howard Schneider, former Newsday editor, on the death yesterday of Bob Greene, larger-than-life investigative reporter, editor and Pulitzer winner, April 10, 2008

Hyde Park P&Z sends Foothill Heights plans forward to city council

By C. Jake Williams

March 7, 2008 | HYDE PARK -- The city's Planning and Zoning Commission voted Wednesday night to send the Foothill Heights subdivision final plat to next week's City Council meeting for approval. In the interim, developer David Harris will work to fix a few concerns raised by the commission.

The major anxiety voiced pertained to commissioner concerns that residents would have to back out of the subdivision, located near 100 N. 700 East, onto corridor roads, also referred to as arterial or traffic-moving roads.

"The key to any corridor road is that people drive out onto them with their noses facing the road," said commission chairman Reed Elder.

The commission voted unanimously to move the subdivision plan forward with the contingency that the corridor issue is resolved and the Land Use Authority approves the latest drawings before being presented to city council. The LUA includes the P&Z chairman, mayor, a city council member, building inspector and city engineer.

Commissioner David James did not vote on the issue, to avoid a conflict of interest. James was involved with the sale of the land the proposed subdivision will rest atop. Commission alternate Dave Gatherum voted in his place.

The Hyde Park City Council will meet at 6:30 p.m. March 12 in the city office building at 113 E. Hyde Park Lane.
