The Sandy Post Office, now serving a regional population of 20,000, six years ahead of postmaster John Metsger's projections, and eyes possible enlarged facilities There's currently a waiting list of about 90 people to get a box downtown. C ity B uilding Inspector Tom Day reports 236 new homes approved for con struction, and all could come during this year. Sandy is growing at a rate of 15 percent per year, he reports, with total increase from 1976 to 1977 a whopping 159 percent in construction figured dollarwise That means 266 building perm its issued in 1977, compared to 136 in 1976. His departm ent is beco m in g in c re a s in g ly “ waterlogged" by the work load, although c u rre n tly there is only a two-day wait on most applications. There is a new 84 home subdivision on the old Duncan Road south of Industrial Park and a new High View subdivision at Langensand and McCormick for 50 duplexes, 3 tri plexes and 1 single family home. A Halo A ddition sub division on South Bluff Road has been approved for 19 homes and awaits ground breaking as soon as Hoodland firefighters burn down one building for a drill. A Pappa Bear subdivision on Wewer Road has been approved for 18 new homes There's also a 24-house sub d ivision planned bet ween Bluff Road and Tupper on the north side of Sandy Heights The rest of the Park Crest addition w ill be completed this summer, with 43 new single family units and 80 apartment units.

He lam ents, too. the depleting number of prime building lots available here. “ Just two years ago, I could buy a lot for $6,000-$7,000, but now it’s $14,IMM)-$16,000. “ And three years ago, I thought I was paying too much at $4,000 What he seeks are 2‘ 2-acre parcels.
