Holladay residents frustrated with repeated water main breaks Utah (KUTV) — Frustrations have mounted in a Holladay neighborhood struggling with ongoing water issues Resident Daren Taylor said frequent water main breaks continue to leave about half of the homes in her neighborhood without water and power sometimes for days at a time with no notice she woke up to see her neighbor’s driveway completely flooded and immediately knew to start filling up her own bathtub with water It’s the second time in less than a week that Taylor experienced an all-day water outage at her home “It also happened last month,” she explained “Last year during Easter we were out of water for about 36 hours.” Taylor works from home and said the frequent water and power outages make things difficult including not having internet for work or water for daily needs like cooking “They need to be changed out completely instead of just putting bandaids on them because it disrupts the whole neighborhood.” A Salt Lake City Department of Public Utilities spokesperson said on Sunday alone there were four water line breaks in the neighborhood The Department of Public Utilities said the Ductile Iron pipe was installed in the 80’s adding -- “It has a high priority for replacement and is on the list We don’t have a time schedule yet as the project needs to be engineered and verified it will fit out in the field.” residents like Taylor are growing desperate for some type of permanent fix to the ongoing problem “I know that would be a large undertaking and probably affect us as well with no water and power,” said Taylor we wouldn’t have to worry about it anymore.” --------------------------------------------- HOLLADAY — A man is facing a criminal charge accusing him of allowing his mother to live in unsanitary conditions and not doing anything to help with her health was charged Tuesday in 3rd District Court with aggravated abuse of a vulnerable adult the Utah Office of the Medical Examiner found she "suffered from several conditions unrelated to the natural aging process gastrointestinal hemorrhage and an active maggot infestation police say Jensen "was unable to describe any medical treatment Ms Paull had received in at least several months." When emergency crews were called to their home in October on a report that the mother was having a full cardiac arrest The mother was found lying on a bed "wearing a diaper which was completely saturated with urine and feces," according to the charges Detectives attending the autopsy "observed large sores on Ms Paull's body and scabs and sores on her feet and lower legs Paull's back was almost entirely covered in bed sores," the charges allege Paull's natural disease was sufficiently severe to have caused her death (the autopsy) was unable to rule out the possibility that poor nutrition with starvation-type ketoacidosis caused her death," according to the charging documents which also note that "the cause and manner of Ms Investigators also noted that when they were first called to Jensen's home 'I'm a millionaire now.' Jensen said he was 'broke' and his mother was worth a considerable amount of money," the charges state Police also reviewed records from Adult Protective Services that showed in 2023 the mother reported "Jensen yelled at her a lot and she was looking for a different place to live." Jensen was arrested and charged with abuse of a vulnerable adult and lewdness When police were called to a domestic disturbance at the residence Paull told officers "she was scared to death of Jensen and that he would become angry for unknown reasons," according to charging documents she was at the point that she could no longer take care of herself and recently moved in with Jensen for help; however she has been terrified of him the entire time," the charges say "The victim expressed fear of the defendant and stated that she believes he will kill her the victim stated that he has threatened to kill her and that she believes he will." Another relative told police that Jensen "is violent when drinking to the point of losing an eye during a bar fight while intoxicated and on a separate occasion breaking (his) mother's wrist while intoxicated in a separate state," according to charging documents due to witness issues during the preliminary hearing Mandy Taheri is a Newsweek reporter based in Brooklyn You can get in touch with Mandy via email: m.taheri@newsweek.com either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content a 54-year-old green card holder who has lived in the United States for more than four decades Customs and Border Protection (CBP) at San Francisco International Airport on April 21 upon her delivery of requested documents Holladay said thatWard's detention was triggered by her previous nearly 20-year old criminal record which the family believes has been expunged Newsweek has been unable to verify and confirm if both her federal and state record has been expunged Newsweek has reached out to CBP for comment via email on Thursday Ward's detention comes amid an immigration crackdown under the Trump administration during which people with valid documentation—including green cards or visas—have been detained and face legal jeopardy President Donald Trump vowed to prevent illegal immigrants with criminal histories or backgrounds from entering and staying in the U.S He has pledged to launch the largest mass deportation operation in U.S history and has detained and deported thousands of people in recent months The United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) says that a green card holder has the right to live permanently in the U.S provided they do not commit any actions that "would make you removable under immigration law." This includes breaking laws and not filing taxes who emigrated from Ireland decades ago when she was 12 She was returning from a trip in which she was "helping to assist our stepmother to go back to Ireland where my father is currently dying," Holladay said.At the time She was held at the airport for three days noting that the conditions were particularly bad adding that Ward was existing off "goldfish and Top Ramen." The officials released her so she could retrieve necessary documentation proving that her criminal records had been expunged and then to deliver them to the Customs office at San Francisco International Airport Ward's prior criminal record includes six cases—two felonies involving possession of drugs and four misdemeanors including "failure to notify DMV [Department of Motor Vehicles] of address change within 10 days," according to court documents reviewed by Newsweek "My sister had an addiction that lasted about five years," Holladay said The felonies for drug possession were in December 2007 and January 2008 Holladay said: "Those court cases are from 20-plus years ago She has been completely sober for 20-plus years...the reality of the felony is that she was an addict and she was picked up for possessing the poison that she was putting into her own body." She's a person with a painful past," Holladay added She said Ward has "traveled freely in and out of the country since her prior history." Upon arriving at the airport on Monday to follow up on her case members of her family were able to speak to her for the first time since she was detained Ward went through the public school system in the area, attending the University of California Santa Cruz and has been "full-time employed by a nonprofit organization," her sister said Ward is the primary care provider for her son and is chronically ill with Crohn's disease and a complicated fistula Holladay noted that Ward's detention at the airport in San Francisco is significantly better than in Seattle saying that "she has access to better food and water" and was able to call her son in a statement: "It's unimaginable that a reportedly expunged 20-year-old incident could be used as justification for deporting a legal permanent resident who is a productive member of our community But this is the cruel and unreasonable state of this Administration's deportation policy I understand and appreciate the need to remove hardened criminals from our communities but the detention of Cliona Ward—now in her 50s and a Green Card holder—for decades-old crimes that have reportedly been expunged from her personal record is unfathomable and unacceptable." Assistant Homeland Security Secretary Tricia McLaughlin previously told Newsweek: "The Trump administration is enforcing immigration laws—something the previous administration failed to do Those who violate these laws will be processed Legal analyst Steven Clark told NBC this week: "Prior drug convictions are particularly problematic even though they've been decriminalized under state law for people who have prior drug or theft convictions you could be in the crosshairs of the Trump administration's deportation policies." Panetta said in his statement that he is "continuing to press U.S Customs and Border Protection for the release of Ms Ward and am working closely with her advocates to coordinate our efforts and uphold the law and due process that must be afforded to everyone in the United States."

Gibbs College of Architecture Students pay about $14 in fees that support the Daily If you're not a student and value our work Peralta believes this human element needs to be honored on a local level through the preservation of historic buildings “There was this famous urban writer called Jane Jacobs who said that we need old buildings because they are like our our older members of our family,” Peralta said Built in 1899, the Moore-Lindsay Historical House Museum was once the residence of William and Agnes Moore Moore-Lindsay historical house museum on Feb The house was sold in 1908 to the Lindsay family serving on the Norman school board and founding many clubs in the community serving as a time capsule representing how Norman looked in its early days the residence houses a variety of artifacts that belonged to the Moore-Lindsay family and other Norman residents in the early 1900s The formal sitting room features large sliding doors and the staircase has a counterpart in the back of the house used by maids The fireplace in the dining room is tiled with original Scheele’s green tiles that were made using arsenic-laced dye One focus of the museum is to showcase life in Norman during the late 19th and early 20th centuries She believes that by exhibiting this lifestyle and time period the museum will inspire historical preservation Miller said that when the Moore-Lindsay house was built Norman was still establishing itself as a community “Every city or town sort of needs to preserve those buildings that gave the place its identity,” Peralta said “It’s places that have history with the community.” Miller said the museum tries to generate extra community interest and support through special events such as tea parties paranormal investigations and camps for kids “It’s really kind of fun for us to get the kids interested because then it gives them an interest in preserving history,” Miller said Museum Manager Amy Pence believes preserving history is important because it allows people to learn from the past Pence said the significance of the house’s past extends to local history where she believes an understanding of this history helps with future development of the town “If you don’t know the history of your town how are you going to know what needs to happen to make it better?” Pence said A belief in the preservation of original Norman architecture is carried through to the Park Etude house, a residence built in 1967 as part of the Organic Architecture movement and designed by former OU architecture professor Dean Bryant Vollendorf retired OU law adjunct professor and owner of the house the residence was referred to as Park Etude on both the preliminary and final building plans Holladay said he is not sure why the name was selected for the residence but assumes it is related to the style of the home “(I) suspect the word park carries the meaning of an outside space and etude is a French word for a composition,” Holladay said “That would match up with the intended organic style.” Don and Kay Holladay's midcentury modern house on Feb Don and Kay Holladay's midcentury modern house on Feb The residence features a tall brick fireplace and a rounded kitchen Large windows provide natural light to nearly every room in the house this natural light is characteristic of organic design And so our organic architecture for this house means incorporating the outside into the room,” Holladay said Holladay said Bruce Goff, former director of the Gibbs College of Architecture inspired and worked with many Norman architects “It was almost kind of like some TV ‘Mod Squad’ group,” Holladay said “The architects that we’re talking about at the college Holladay said Vollendorf gathered inspiration from Goff designing the Holladay house in a style that Goff popularized “If you go to the College of Architecture, they will say that (the house is) a part of what they have now deemed the American School of Architecture,” Don said According to Peralta, the American School is the school of design and practice that was developed by Goff Herb Greene and other OU architecture professors in the 1950s have changed only necessary features to preserve the house’s original state “We’ve been really faithful,” Don Holladay said and we really haven’t changed a single thing Through a desire to renovate the kitchen, the Holladays realized preserving the original look of the house was more important than having modern features. By replacing the countertops with identical laminate and updating the cooktop, they said they are aiming to maintain how the house looked when it was featured in the January 1968 edition of House & Garden magazine The tile is very dated,” Kay Holladay said The Holladays said they didn’t have a previous passion for architecture or design After buying the house in the year 2000 — 33 years after it was originally built — the two started to learn more about architecture the Holladays often hosted various community and family events “We did a lot of entertaining,” Kay Holladay said It was through hosting that the house made its way onto the National Register of Historic Places and it had a whole bunch of people,” Don said an Oklahoman architect focused on historical buildings called the Holladays after seeing the house and asked how old the residence was I’d like to talk to you about putting it on the (National Register),’” Don Holladay said is what sparked an interest in the historic value of their home and found out there were other (historic) structures in Norman,” Don Holladay said Peralta said it’s important to have organizations like the National Register because it gives legitimacy to the act of keeping and preserving these buildings The couple’s commitment to preserving the original look of the house paid off after the house was recognized by the National Register in December of 2017 “We didn’t change anything in the structure and we were glad because it’s all about preservation,” Don Holladay said When it comes to architecture’s role in certain areas Peralta said it acts as “a mirror of the community.” so it is part of our identity …,” Peralta said “It’s part of the collective memory of the house Community and architecture and buildings are part of who we are.” Avery Avery and Allie Clift copy edited this story Students pay about $14 in fees that support the Daily.

vibrant ensemble of more than 75 wind and percussion musicians led by Tyler Benedict Musical considered timeless by SHS students (Trent Nelson | The Salt Lake Tribune) Construction at the site of the former Cottonwood Mall in Holladay on Tuesday The site of the old Cottonwood Mall has visible signs of new life – and more buildings are on the way There are free-standing townhomes, with more underway, that are ready for buyers; there are nearly finished apartments; and there is early constitution of a new coworking space set to open next spring on the long-vacant site of the state’s first mall And Holladay Hills – the name for the luxury residential and commercial development covering multiple parcels and 56 acres near 4800 S A commercial building intended for use by Chase Bank and roughly 60 townhomes are in design and heading to Holladay City Council soon The Holladay Planning Commission reviewed both last month but made no binding decisions Unlike a proposal that voters shot down in 2018, Holladay Hills is less dense with smaller buildings farther from streets and more open space than the last plan It will abide by terms approved by city leaders in 2007 for a proposal abandoned when that developer went bankrupt declined an interview for this story but said more information is forthcoming A spokesperson for the City of Holladay also did not comment on the development at the former mall Ken Krivanec, Utah division president for Tri Pointe Homes said Holladay Hills is the perfect place for his firm to “plant a flag” in Utah Tri Pointe will develop two lots: roughly 60 townhomes and six single-family houses (Tribune file photo) The first mall built in Utah in 1962 the Cottonwood Mall thrived for 40 years before changing markets led to its demise Utah’s first mall thrived for 40 years before changing markets led to the Cottonwood Mall’s demise in 2008 The mall property has remained vacant for more than a decade amid attempts to redevelop it First, voters torpedoed a high-density development proposed by Ivory Homes and Woodbury Corp That proposal included a 775-unit high-rise apartment complex and 210 single-family homes on 57 acres Though the project may have contributed significantly to the 25-year-old city’s tax base it also involved high-density housing and a series of multistory residential and office towers that drew concern from some residents Those residents contended that the proposed Holladay Quarter was too big and too dense threatening to snarl traffic and alter the quality of life in the suburban city on Salt Lake County’s eastern bench The developers continued to push their plans for the high-rise tower for more than two years before a ballot measure reversed the Holladay City Council’s approval of the project They were successful and have been getting approval parcel by parcel for a development with 614 residential units and up to 750,000 square feet of shops There are also proposals for a hotel and theater Millrock Capital and KBS Commercial Advisors Three elements are already under construction Some townhomes on the southern end of the property called “Elevate at Holladay Hills,” are done and sold Seven townhomes are listed for sale — all at $1 million or more except for the model unit — and have at least three bedrooms Plans call for a total of 38 townhomes with one of five floorplans near the middle of the former mall property “The Grandeur at Holladay Hills” is under construction the building will have 147 units that range from studios to one- and two-bedroom apartments The 448-square-foot studio apartments start around $1,500 two-bath units with about 1,100 square feet run for more than $3,000 The apartment building has several amenities including a courtyard with a pool and cabanas Closer to the southeast corner of South Highland Drive and East Murray Holladay Road the bones of a large coworking space are in place The Kiln already has spaces in Salt Lake City will be among Tri Pointe Homes’ first projects in Utah Holladay Hills is the perfect place “to plant a flag,” said Ken Krivanec “There are not a lot of opportunities to build a new home in Holladay,” Krivanec said — especially in a mixed-used community alongside retailers and restaurants “I don’t know where else you’d go to find that diversity,” he added Holladay’s planning commission discussed preliminary design plans for the 66 townhomes last month Commissioners said it was the first time they had seen a proposal for the 3-acre plot and commissioners had some design concerns — like the pitched single roof that made it look like a “fort.” One commissioner said it “looked really boring.” But the project is still in its early design stage Developers and architects are “working hard” to come up with a design that “fits the community and its history.” They’ve still “got a ways to go.” Krivanec said he hopes to present designs for the townhomes and the single-family homes in early 2025 and have homes on the market by early 2026 A commercial bank campus also is slated for a 3.5-acre plot Commissioners are considering whether to subdivide the plot but recent plans point to a single commercial building “intended to be occupied by Chase Bank.” TriPointe Homes also will build six single-family estate homes on a separate lot Design proposals have not yet been submitted but Krivanec said he hopes homes will be on the market by early 2026 The plans also call for a lot of parking space 1 p.m.: This story has been corrected to show Holloday has been a
