WVC Newsletter

There is a great resource of information in the West Valley City's newsletter, it's called UpDate. The link is HERE to read it!

I especially like the message from Mayor Dennis J. Nordfelt & I'd like to thank him for his service to our community!

The other article I liked & learned a lot from is titled, "Is my basement apartment legal?" by Ed Domain, Cheif Building Official. I especially liked point 12. He says, "If your basement apartment is located under a typical single family home, there is a good chance it is illegal. City zoning regulations generally prohibit basement apartments in neighborhoods dedicated as single family zones (DIAMOND SUMMIT IS ZONED AS SINGLE FAMILY). Less than 1% of the land in West Valley City is zoned for duplexes." I found this to be very interesting...

There was also information about Christmas Tree disposal. All West Valley City residents can dispose of their Christmas trees between December 26 - January 18 at City Park east parking lot ( 3400 South 4400 West) & West View Park parking lot (6020 West 4100 South). All lights, stands, nails, screws, bags & decorations must be removed. Residents can also use the City's bulky waste service to dispose of trees.

have you considered the possibility of people needing the money from "renters" in order to keep their home? i personally would rather have my neighbor rent out their basement than lose their home to foreclosure, leaving both families with no place to live.
