Press-Tribune vaEOTubumb Tuesday, February 24, 1987 6 ACRA death armocrnae Suspect sought in 12 From staff and wire reports SACRAMENTO The FBI believes the same person is responsible for 12 bombings over the past nine years, including the 1985 bomb death of Carmichael computer store owner Hugh Scrutton. At least 19 other persons were injured in the attacks aimed at the computer and airline industries and university researchers. The latest incident occurred Friday in Salt Lake City, Utah when an employee of a computer sales and service store was injured by a bomb placed at the rear of the store. Officials released a drawing of a suspect based on a description they received from two co-workers of the injured man. The two said they saw someone leave an object between two cars about an hour before the blast.

United Press International reported that the FBI added the Salt Lake City incident to the list Monday: May 25, 1978.

Dwight Beattie. assistant county registrar of voters, said his office rochockod all signatures it had initially invalidated after incorporation backers challenged the process. Kven then, he said, only tot signatures were added to the valid total. He said it was the first time signatures were checked against a computerized listing of registered voters, and the Mi persons had not signed their names exac tly the way they are registered. McGarvey said it wasn't fair that the county used a different method for counting signatures than it did for Citrus Heights and F.Ik Grove He noted Citrus Heights incorpo ration backers had lured the same professional signature gathering firm to augment efforts by volun toers.

and ended up with only 28 City plan for Rancho Cordova fails to make ballot position (Press-Tribune photo by Jim Denman) Jeff Schroeder during a traininq drill. Citrus Heights man Firefighter of Year Supervisors consider bluff plan Development rules along American SACRAMENTO Sacramento County supervisors on Wednesday will consider a stringent review process for development along the American River Parkway. The board, which also will consider several large housing projects proposed in the Antelope area west of Roseville, will meet starting at 9:15 a.m. at the county Administration Building, 700 Sacramento. The review process for American River Parkway development was proposed by the county to protect bluffs from erosion and geologic instability.

It was reviewed two weeks ago by the Policy Planning Commission, which expressed concerns the requirements were too stringent especially for "minor" development projects. "The commission expressed overall concern that the requirement for a geotechnical report for minor projects is unreasonable given the nature of the problem," commission clerk Ila Miranda reported to supervisors. "The commission also had concerns that whatever review process is built into the ordinance should progress as rapidly as possible." It suggested that county planners consider some type of administrative review for minor improvements rather than the use permit hearing process. It also said the ordinance should establish lesser setback requirements for minor improvements, such as chain link fencing. As proposed, the review process would apply to any new construction or building addition normally requiring a building permit, construction of any fence or wall, any form of trenching or grading and any parcel lot splits.

Planning staff said the process would "ensure that development proposed on the bluff and terrace areas adjacent to the American River occurs in a manner which maintains a safe environment for homes and other improvements, and protects the aesthetic and environmental quality of the American River Parkway." Potential development restrictions would apply to property north and south of the river, generally extending from Carmichael east ward through Fair Oaks and Orangevale to the Folsom city limits.

That threat came after Sacramento County election officials on Monday said backers of a new city failed to collect enough petition signatures to move forward with the proposal.

"It's not dead." incorporation committee Chairman Robert McGarvey said today in challenging the county's new process for verify ing signatures. "We will go to court." Rancho Cordova is the third community in the county in which incorporation efforts are under way. But the elections olfice said petition drives in Citrus Heights and F.Ik Grove were successful. Those communities are now awaiting hearings before the county's Iocal Agency Formation Commission, which will decide whether to place the proposals on the ballot.
