PLATING PROBLEM
FOR CONSIDERATION
Transformation of Bench Lands
Into City Blocks Requires
Skill and Judgment.
EXAMPLES ARE AFFORDED
ON SOUTHEAST BENCH
NEW ADDITION ILLUSTRATES
SCIENTIFIC DIVISION TO
UTILIZE GREATEST
AREA FOR LOTS.

How to plat a modern residence addi-
ton is a problem that has frequently
presented itself of late in Salt Lake
City, and has not always been answered
successfully.
1t might seem to the Uninitiated
that. given the dimensions of the piece
of ground to be cut up into blocks and
lots, it would be a comparatively sim
pie matter to DO the work. Yet there
is often dissatisfaction enough ex-
pressed at The manner in which the
work has been done.
IN some sections the contour of the
ground is such that it is a rather diff
fcult matter to lay out the district in
lots of a convenient size without hav-
ing much waste ground. Yet in such
sections a skilled landscape engineer
can often obtain some beautiful results.
And the park system" as it is some
times called, is not unknown in SAT-
Lake City.
An examination of the plat of the ter
ritory recently added TO Salt Lake City,
including Sugar House and the land TO
the east and south of that busting lit
tie business center, shows how one firm
of realty dealers has endeavored TO
make good and sufficient provision in
advance for ali the necessary cOnsid-
eratiOns. Highland Park plat shows
that careful attention has been given
to all details.
1t is interesting to note the manner
in which the problem Of frontage has
been solved; less than 9 per cent of the
lots have a northern frontage. Almost
all of these are on the south side Of the
principal street. which runs east and
west through the center Of the addition,
and therefore are desirable lots any
way. A few are on short streets abut-
ting on Highland Park drive, as what
was formerly known as the county road
below Sugar House is now called. The
great majority Of the lots face either
the lake or the Wasatch mountains.
Standing as they do, on a slope that
rises gently to the foothills of that
range, they viii afford beautiful and
unobstructed views. A large number
also face to the south, where the view
OF the entire Salt Lake valley may be
had from the front doorstep Of the resi-
dences that viii soon dot this section.
Kimbal & Richards report that the
sale Of lots In the addition has kept the
sales force busy since the opening. The
fact that practically ali the city i'm
provements are on the lots when they
are purchased, and that the location IS
so desirable aud advantageous for
those wishing TO build homes. say the
members OF the Arm, has made the lots
extremely popular. and already large
percentage of the lots on sale have been
disposed of.
