FENCES If you are planning to build a fence, please contact the Building Department 801-756-6241 before you begin to build and make sure you comply with Alpine City’s fence ordinance. There is no cost for a fence permit if the fence is under 6 feet high, and getting permission is far easier than taking down the fence.
2014 Water Conservation Restriction Program Despite some very general reports, the snowpack in our area is well below normal. News reports of conditions rebounding and being more normal are for the areas of the State further north. We would ask residents to please conserve water. Following are the details of the City’s 2014 Water Conservation/ Restriction Program. Water use restrictions will be in effect starting June 1, 2014, unless further notice is given.
Residential Users: Use of irrigation water will be allowed three days per week. Odd numbered addresses will be allowed to water Monday, Wednesday & Friday. Even numbered addresses will be allowed to water Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday. The time period allowed for residential water will be from 7 pm on the scheduled day for watering until 7 am the following day. This does not mean that residents should water for a 12 hour time period, but rather a reasonable amount of water can be used during this time period sufficient to provide for the needs of their landscaping. Smaller ¼ acre lots should irrigate less hours than larger 1 acre lots.

Jannicke Brewer Retires As Planning Commission Chairman by Joan Evans For twenty-two years Jannicke Brewer has served on the Alpine City Planning Commission; eighteen of those years she has been the Chairman. "It is time for a change in my life," she stated, "but I have enjoyed every bit of the experience --working with six mayors in that time and many members of the Commission." As Brewer reflected on earlier days when Alpine was much smaller, she commented on the growth. "When I first began, the City population was about 5,000, and now we are 10,000 strong. It used to be that you'd know everybody in town. Now if someone asks 'do you know so and so, I say no, I don't'. In those earlier times," she continued, "we'd meet as we still do on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month, and our agenda would contain 7 or 8 subdivisions to be discussed. PRD's (Planned Residential Developments) kept us very busy as more and more people moved in. Now, what is the biggest change? - very little growth." According to Brewer, Alpine has nearly reached buildout. Except for the Fort Canyon area project, there are lots being built on but no more significantly large areas of development. Careful attention addressing increased population and traffic control has made it critical in managing circulation in the City - devising updates on getting from place to place utilizing efficient traffic patterns to accommodate the City growth.
City Parks and other Large Water Users (schools, churches, etc.): The City will coordinate a plan for irrigation of the parks/other facilities and with the other large water users. This plan will require watering during the day to balance the use in the system. Some parks may only get watered once per week.
"We follow the ordinances," Jannicke said. "Thanks to our City Attorney, everything we consider is done with the backup of an ordinance associated with it. A decision to build this or that used to be based on whether we liked it or not. I have to chuckle when our City attorney said - 'it's not what you like or not like; it's what the ordinance states.”
Agricultural Users: Alpine City is working with the Alpine Irrigation Company and the agricultural users to implement a water restriction program.
Wonderful things have happened in our beautiful city," she exclaims. "With the great services we enjoy - Police and Fire Depts., Pressurized Irrigation, Parks, to name a few, the infrastructure is better and better! The goal has always been to keep development off the mountains as much as possible -to preserve open space!"

Jannicke Brewer was born in Sweden, and came to America after high school, attended BYU, then served an LDS Mission in Sweden. She returned here to teach school in Provo, UT and met her husband Arlin. They have 4 children and 13 grandchildren. When asked about her plans after retirement, she replied, "Arlin and I love to garden together.

Jannicke added, with a twinkle in her eye, "Baby sitting the grandchildren and taking them on excursions to the Dinosaur Museum, and other places is so much fun!!"

SUMMER SAFETY TIPS BIKE RIDING Wear a helmet. Make sure the helmet fits properly. Make sure your bike is a good fit. Don’t ride a bike that is too big or too small for you. Ride on bike paths wherever possible. Bike paths are designed just for bikers, and are safe and fun places to ride. If you must ride in the street, keep to the far right side of the road, ride in the same direction as the traffic, and obey all traffic laws. And watch for dangers like potholes, construction areas, and people walking. Make sure others can see you. Wear bright colors. Do not ride at night. Never bike with headphones. SWIMMING Swim in designated areas supervised by lifeguards. Always swim with a buddy; do not allow anyone to swim alone. Even at a public pool or a lifeguarded beach. Ensure that everyone in the family learns to swim NEVER LEAVE A YOUNG CHILD UNATTENDED NEAR WATER Do not trust a child’s life to another child. Have young children or inexperienced swimmers wear approved life jackets around water. Establish rules for your family and enforce them without fail. Even if you do not plan on swimming, be cautious around natural bodies of water including ocean, rivers and lakes. If you go boating, wear a life jacket! Most boating fatalities occur from drowning. Avoid alcohol use. Alcohol impairs judgment, balance and coordination; affects swimming. HIKING Carry a headlamp on every hike, even short day hikes Carry and drink plenty of water (a minimum of 1 quart every 2 hours) Sturdy footwear with good traction might save an ankle Minor/moderate health or medical issues can be easily exacerbated by hiking up the steep valley trails—know your limits and pay attention to how you're feeling Stay on the established trail When hiking in a group, each member of the group should carry some water and food in case the party becomes separated, and the group should make a plan for where to meet up (at the vehicle, at the trailhead, etc.) if the members become separated. Have fun and be safe Battalion Chief Joe McRae

This order is enforceable by law, and a violation of which carries penalties and provisions as outlined in the Utah State Law. State law holds individuals responsible for starting a fire by illegal or legal means, and all expenses incurred by the fire department to extinguish that fire. Chief Brad Freeman, Lone Peak Fire District—Approved by the Alpine City Council As of June 25th 2014 fireworks are permitted within the following boundaries and on both sides of the street on the boundary. Fireworks ignition and discharge is allowed 3 days before the holiday, on the holiday, and 3 days after. Fireworks are not permitted outside these boundaries.
