NORTH LOGAN — On KVNU’s For the People program last week, North Logan Mayor Lyndsay Peterson said they have had some complaints from residents over some of the developments in the community, but she said one of the things she loves about North Logan residents is that they show up to city council and planning commission meetings and make their voices heard.

“I think it’s in a reasonable way and it’s with educated citizens, and I think that’s illustrative of the fact that we should trust our city governments and we should trust our citizens to give us an indication of what they want to see in the city,” Peterson explained.

She said she put a plug in for the city’s January newsletter asking citizens for input. Peterson said it has been a focus for her to be transparent with citizens.

When it comes to new development, North Logan has been noted for its balance.

“I really can’t take credit for that, I think that’s evidence of past decisions that have been made in our city. But I do think that that balance of the different types of zoning and the different types of housing developments is really, I think that’s where you hit the sweet spot,” she added. “You don’t want to have rows and rows of apartments, but it’s not efficient to have exclusively two acre lots either.”

Peterson said past administrators have done a great job of being thoughtful about how the city is laid out.

The mayor said North Logan has some other big events on the horizon, including the New Years at Noon on Saturday the 31st at Green Canyon High School.

It’s an event geared for children up to age 10 who can’t stay up to midnight New Years Eve. They will do crafts at 10:30 a.m. and at noon they will have a balloon drop.

“I’m most excited about the New Year’s Eve at Noon celebration. I’m tempted to go because I’m a pretty lightweight when it comes to late-night (celebration). And our library always has things going on. They have some fundraisers coming up, they have a gala and a Regency tea party coming up at the end of January.”
