24274,Alton (Utah),Master plan,1981.,By subject.,"In April 1981\, Alton town council members adopted the Alton Master Plan which they had created according to guidelines provided in Utah's ""Municipal Planning Enabling Act."" (Utah Code\, 1984-1985\, 10-9-20). The town council adopted this master plan as an official policy to guide decisions affecting Alton's development. Most of the information in the plan is actually profile information about Alton. This northern Kane County community was settled in 1907 by Jonathan Heaton. It includes 225 acres of land\, of which interior blocks are primarily residential and outer blocks are primarily agricultural. Alton's population declined from 154 persons in 1950 to 79 in 1980. The community consists of 42 single family homes\, 21 of which were occupied year-round in 1981. Public services and facilities include street maintenance\, police and fire protection\, and culinary water. Alton goals and policies suggest the possibility of population growth as a result of development in Alton's coal fields.,Outside of this possibility\, Alton is not likely to grow and therefore public services should be kept at a minimum. Any future building should be in areas where the soil and water table are most compatible.",,Public,1 microfilm reel
