State St. 261-223 Cross-Lites says: Planners nix commercial zone changes God's will or vour will? Which has first priority for you be honest? Take Inventory. by HEIDI WEST Record staff writer A proposal to make a few small changes in the general commercial zone was reviewed twice in public hearings last week and recommended recommend-ed against by at least one group of city ci-ty decision-makers. The ordinance to change some "height and bulk limitations" was deemed Oct. 28 by the Park City Planning Commission "a piecemeal approach" to the problems which exist in the zone as a whole, and was forwarded to city council at their hearing Oct. 29 with a negative recommendation. City planning staff had created the ordinance at the request of some city council members several months ago. Included was a setback requirement require-ment in the Prospector Square area of from five to 15 feet, with an average of 10 feet. There is no setback required now, and the addition proved controversial. controver-sial. Since the setback would apply only to the portion of a lot which fronts a public street, the landowner would be particularly affected if he or she owned a long, skinny parcel. "Some lots could have 25 percent of their buildable area taken from them," noted Mike Sloan, a Prospector Square property owner who spoke at both public hearings on the issue. Based on input by Sloan and others, the staff had revised the setback set-back requirement before last week's meetings to say it would not be imposed im-posed if it resulted in reducing either lot dimension to below 50 feet. But the move did not satisfy pjann-ing pjann-ing commissioners. Dean Barrett, who is president of the Prospector Square Property Owners Association Associa-tion as well as a planning commissioner, commis-sioner, said the setback would not just damage those lots which are long and skinny, but would take away some useable portion of all lots. A second objectionable provision of the ordinance proved to be a condition con-dition that only the second and higher floors of structures in Prospector Pro-spector Square could be used for residences.

Adjournment Building levels off Although the number of new building permits issued by Park City dropped in October over the previous month, the city's building staff was kept busy with more building, electrical and plumbing inspections on work under construction. According to city statistics, 55 building permits were handed out last month, nearly the same as the 53 issued in October of 1986. This was a decrease from last month's 70. Value of the building allowed by those permits also dropped, both from last month and from October of 1986. Value in Oct. 1987 was $922,000. In Oct. 1986 it was $1.32 million, and in Sept. 1987 it was $1.31 million. But, the number of inspections stayed steady and rose slightly over both Sept. 87 and last October's Oc-tober's figures. In Oct. 1987, inspectors in-spectors performed 245 building, 131 electrical and 135 plumbing inspections. In September, the numbers were 232, 109 and 126 respectively, and in October of last year they were 224, 108 and 106. The breakdown of new building permits issued last month is as follows: 4 single family, 1 relocation reloca-tion and demolish, 6 signs. 18 alterations to dwellings, 11 alterations to commercial buildings, and 15 undefined. Total valuation to date is $10,478,167. Last year at the end of October, valuation was $11,961,751.

But a motion made by commissioner commis-sioner Ron Whaley to change the language died for lack of a second. Other sections of the ordinance would limit roof height to prevent the "canyon effect," and decrease the floor to total building area ratio to effectively limit the number of stories. Arguing existing regulations already limited the height of buildings in Prospector, Sloan told commissioners "let's not affect pro perty values any more. Prospector Square is coming backhand this is just going to kick them again." Commissioner Brad Olch motioned motion-ed the planning commission send a negative recommendation to the city council. "We need to go back and look at it responsibly," he said. Commission chair Ruth Gezelius summarized the position, saying "maybe that would send the message that we don't feel this proposed pro-posed revision solves the problem." The commission voted unanimously unanimous-ly in favor of Olch's motion, with Barrett abstaining. When it reached city council with much the same testimony, the vote was tabled. Silver Lake buses OK'd City council members revised their approval Thursday for bus service to the Silver Lake area during the upcoming ski season. Instead of a $16,500 option op-tion to provide service from noon to 10:30 p.m. from Dec. 19 to April 3, they adopted a plan to limit service to daytime hours. The change was made at the request of transportation director Kae Draper and her staff, who were worried about "poor lighting at night, icy roads and cold temperatures." Rich Milliron, spokesperson for the Silver Lake businesses, told council members after Draper had talked with them, they reached a "consensus that it was important to have service during the daytime hours." Fareboxes to be installed In related news, the city awarded the bid to Main Farebox to purchase and install 17 fare boxes in city buses "to be used as donation boxes during the ski season," according to city staff. The total price tag for the boxes was expected to be around $25,000, but Main Farebox's bid came in at $19,686. The next lowest bid was submitted by General Farebox, for $32,606. The federal government contributes 80 percent of the cost of the fareboxes. Park City will kick in the other 20 percent, or $3,937. Business fee changed Council members heard from city finance director Kent Parker on a proposal pro-posal to change several facets of the city's business license regulations. As they read now, the regulations require a minimum fee of $15 per year for businesses located in small buildings. The new ordinance would up that minimum to $100. It would also group like businesses together in determining fees, "to allow greater flexibility when comparing our fees to the state," said Parker. Like businesses will now pay like rates, rather than being determined by square footage of the shop they occupy. A discount for those who pay their fees early has been eliminated, and a penalty date moved up. Whereas the old regulations do not begin the penalty charge until the end of March, the new ones impose the extra fee on Jan. 15. "With the discount system, businesses could operate until the end of March without a license," "noted Parker.- IF will "now--be considered unlawful to operate past mid-January without paying business license fees.
