Second Appeal to District Court ............................................................................ 14 SUMMARY OF ARGUMENT ......................................................................................... 16 ARGUMENT ..................................................................................................................... 18 I. The District Court Erred in Declining to Review Whether the Planning Commission’s Decision was Supported by Substantial Evidence Under the McElhaney v. City of Moab Standard. .............................................................................................. 18 A. The failure of the Planning Commission to produce written findings renders its decision not to revoke the Amended CUP arbitrary and capricious. ..................... 18 B. The only remedy is remand to the Planning Commission. ................................ 20 iii C. Mitigation conditions in the Amended CUP have been violated. ..................... 22 1. sPower failed to fulfill financial mitigation conditions ................................ 23 2. Any failure by the Planning Commission to clearly enunciate the financial mitigation condition does not excuse its violation. .......................................... 26 3. Alternate mitigation conditions have been violated. .................................... 28 II. The District Court’s Final Order deprived NMA Members of their due process rights under the United States Constitution and the Utah Constitution. ........................ 34 A. NMA Members are entitled to due process protections. ................................... 35 B. NMA Members have never been given a meaningful opportunity to be heard. 36 C. The Planning Commission lacked the evidence it needed to make a fair decision on revocation. ......................................................................................................... 37 D. NMA Members were deprived of due process. ................................................. 39 III. The District Court erroneously ruled that reconsideration by the County Commission of its issued Final Written Decision was legal, where no state statute or county ordinance authorizes the County Commission to reconsider its final and announced decisions. ..................................................................................................... 40 A. The County has no authority or mechanism for rehearing or reconsideration. 41 B. Reconsideration was ultra vires, illegal and void. ............................................ 43 CONCLUSION………………………………………………………………………………....44 CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE WITH UTAH RULE OF APPELLATE PROCEDURE 24(A)(11) .................................................................................................. 46 CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE .......................................................................................... 47 iv TABLE OF AUTHORITIES Cases Augustus v.

INTRODUCTION This appeal arises from an administrative land use decision originally made by the San Juan County Planning and Zoning Commission (“Planning Commission”) as the “land use authority” pursuant to Utah Code Ann. § 17-27a-103(29), upheld by the San Juan County Commission (“County Commission”) as the “land use appeal authority” under Utah Code Ann. § 17-27a-701(1), and upheld on further appeal by the Seventh Judicial District Court in and for San Juan County, State of Utah (the “District Court”). The land use decision at issue is the September 14, 2015 decision of the Planning Commission (the “P&Z Decision”) not to revoke an amended conditional use permit (the “Amended CUP”) held by Sustainable Power Group, LLC (“sPower”) to construct and operate a large wind turbine electric generating facility (the “Wind Facility”), comprising 27 wind turbines (“Turbines”) that are approximately 453 tall – taller than any other building in the entire state

  • RSC Style Guide
    Religious Studies Center Style Guide, 1 October 2018 Authors who submit manuscripts for potential publication should generally follow the guidelines in The Chicago Manual of Style, 17th ed. (Chicago: The University of Chicago Press, 2017) and Style Guide for Editors and Writers, 5th ed. (Salt Lake City: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 2013). This style guide summarizes the main principles in the other style guides and lists a few exceptions to their guidelines. Formatting 1. Use double-spacing throughout the manuscript and the endnotes. Use one-inch margins, and insert page numbers at the bottom of the page. Use a Times New Roman 12-point font for both the body of the manuscript and the notes. Use only one space after periods. 2. If you have images, add captions and courtesy lines (such as courtesy of Church History Library, Salt Lake City) to the Word file. However, do not insert images in the Word files; submit them separately. Images should be 300 dpi or better (TIFF or JPG files). File names and captions should match (Fig. 1.1 = chapter 1, figure 1). Headings 3. Update: Include headings to break up the text. First-Level Headings First-level headings should be flush left and bolded, as in the example above. Capitalize internal words except for articles (a, an, and the), conjunctions (and, but, or, for, so, and yet), prepositions, and the word to in infinitive phrases. Second-Level Headings Second-level headings should be flush left and italicized. Capitalize like first-level headings. Third-level headings. Third-level headings should be italicized, followed by a period, and run in to the text; capitalization should be handled sentence-style (capitalize the first word and proper nouns).

  • Boyd Frank Summerhays July 15, 1930 ~ Oct
    Boyd Frank Summerhays July 15, 1930 ~ Oct. 26, 2019 Boyd Frank Summerhays ("Papa"), the oldest son of Della and Frank Summerhays, passed away at home on October 26, 2019. His loving wife, Arleen ("Mimi") and son Jeff were with him when he took his last breath. Along with his wife, Boyd is survived by his four children: Jenefer, Jeff, Heather (Brad), Chris (Kim) and by his brothers Denny, Brent, Greg and Alan. Arleen and Boyd have 16 grandchildren, 26 great-grandchildren, and one great-great-granddaughter. He is preceded in death by his parents, brother Leslie Neil, son-in-law Mark Nielson, and dozens of faithful horses and dogs. He was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Boyd started working at age nine and only reluctantly slowed down in old age. He served stateside in the Air National Guard during the Korean War and ran a successful tavern during his time off. He married Arleen May Olson in 1953 and they bought their first restaurant, the Balsam Inn, shortly after. They had four children in five years and, in Boyd's words, "worked like hell" until 1959, when the restaurant burned to the ground. Although totally broke, Boyd and Arleen started over and built the Balsam Embers in 1960. The restaurant was a success and they opened a second restaurant, the Cowboy Grub, in 1975. Boyd and Arleen formed many lifelong friendships with their employees and customers. Boyd closed the Balsam Embers in 1980 at the height of its popularity to turn his attention more fully to his family and to breeding and showing cutting horses.
